I'lil^FACE.
To The Kindrkd :
The desire for some knowledge of those who have gone
before us is ahoor^t universal among civilized people.
A certain amount of veneration of ancestors exists even
among savage tribes.
Tlie record of a line of honoral)le and upright a n^'cslry is
the best gift we can leave to posterity.
To many thinking people a work of this kind is uir more
satisfactory as a memorial of those who liave gone before us
than many costly shafts of granite or marble to mark tiie last
resting place of the bodies of the dear departed ones.
The task of collecting and arranging a family memorial is
a work of love. It is an arduous task if faithfully performed
and one for which there is no hope of financial reward. The
work of collecting and arranging tlie material for this volume
was performed under almost unsurmountable difHculties, and
under very discouraging circumstances, in tlie midst of a busy
life and covering a period of more than ten years. During
this entire period it has been necessary for the compiler to at-
tend to other duties during business hours to maintain his
family, and but for the assistance of others who felt equally
interested the work would never have been published.
The compiler does not claim perfection. He is aware theie
are errors in his work. He has striven to make it as accurate
as possible and trusts that the kindred will be charitable in
their judgment of his faults.

PREFACE
Those who liavo liad i>o ex}»ericnce in work of tliis kind eaii
hardly realize the diflieultics that have to be overcoiuo or the
trials and vexations that must be endured. iMueh of the pres-
ent volume was written some years ago while the writer was
but a novice at v\'ork of this kind, and circumstances were
such that it could not be re-written or even thorou^idy revised.
In the midst of publication the death angel entered his
household and the work was completed in tlie shacjovv of a
great sorroA\-.
Hoping and trusting that this volume may prove a source
of satisfaction and joy to the kindred, and thanking those who
have so kindly rendered assistance, I am
Very Sincerely Yours,
F. S. HAMMOND.

THE XAME AXD ITS OllIGIX
AS FOUND IN ANCIENT HISTORY AND .MYTHOLOGY
This name, in its many variations, is often met with in
aiji.'jeiji bistury louy ufu>j.e >uiriaiTies were ni use, and its pos-
sible derisution and liieaning mriy be of interest to some of
those who bear it in iis more modern ibrni.
It is found written Anian, Amann, Amon, Amnion,
Haman, Haaiant, Hamont, Hammon, Plarnmons, Hamond,
Hamonde, Hayman, Ilayniond, and later ahnost univevfally
as Hammond, although there are still some Amans of French
or Norman descent and a few Hamants, Hammons and
Haymans of English and Irish origin.
It appears among the very earliest surnames found in
England, where it was introduced as a family cognomen at
the time of the Conquest by some officers of the invading
army.-
" Ammon or Hammon — A name given to Jupiter, wor-
shiped in Libya. When Bacchus was conquering Africa, he
is said to have come with his army to a spot called, from the
vast quantity of sand lying around, by the name of Ham-
modes. Here his forces were in great danger of perishin<;(
from w:int of water, when a ram appeared on a sudden unci
guided them to a verdant spot, or oasis, in the midst of the
desert. \\'lien they reached this nlace the ram disappeared
and they found an abundant supply of water. Bacchuy there-

2 OIIIGIN OF tup: name 1
fore, out of gratitude, erected on the spot a temple to Jupiter. {
giving him at the same time the surname Ammon, or Ham- ,,
mon. from the Greek sand in allusion to the circumstances '
connected with his appearance, and the statue of the deity had j
the head and horns of a ram. The oasis referred to is the ■
Oasis of Ammon, and the fountain is the famous Fons Rons. j
The temple of Ammon, like that of Delphi, was famous »
for its treasures, the varied offerings of the pious. Plutarch «
says that the name of Ammon is the Egyptian name for ;
Jupiter. This god was particularly worshipped at Thebes, ;
called in the sacred books Hammono, "the possessioTi of
Hammon," and in the Septuagint (Ezek. C. 21), the City of ;
Ammon. Jablonski derives the word Ammon from Am-oein \
— shining. According, however, to Champollion the younger,
the term in question (Amon), denoted in the Egyptian lan-
guage " secret, concealed," or " he who reveals nis secret
powers." The Greek etymology of the name Ammon is fan-
ciful and visionary, and only affords another proof of the .
constant habit in which that nation indulged, of referring so
many things to themselves with v»hich they had not, in truth, /
the slightest connection."*
Many other significations are found for the name in an- '
cient history: Amon — fiithful, true ; Ilaman — noise, turmoil. ;
Ilamon-Gog — the multitude of Gog, &:c. \
At a later date we tnid the Roman General, who was among ,
the invaders of Britain and from whom the Port of South-
ampton derives its nami. His feat of valor adds no particular \
h\stre to the name, however. \
In the settlement of the estate of Thomas Button, Bishop [
of Exeter, in the year 1310, is mentioned a lot of " loculi- I
ponchi and Hamondcs,'' six in number, which were sold. The \
word is used here in its Saxon, meaning " something which \
protects and keeps safe."t j
The name Hammond as a family name appears in Eng- \
land from the date of the Conquest (1066). It is found witl. |

ORIGIN OF THE NAME 3
a large variation of spelling, often exhibiting three or more
dijlereut forms in the same document. The name appears to
have been generally spelled Hamond or Hamoude prior to
1700, but is often found written Ilamon, Ilamont or Hamant
in the text of a document, when the signature is Hamond or
Hamonde. The same individual does not seem to have
always spelled his name in the same fashion, and it is not
until some years afttr the emigration to America that we find
anything like uniformity of spelling, even in the same family.
After the emigration the large majority of the families of the
name adopted the uniform spelling of Hammond, but there
are a fevv' who still adhere to the names Hamant, Hamond
and Hammon.
"Hammond. Among the many of his own kin who
accompanied the Duke of Normandy on his invasion of Eng-
land vscic tV»'o brothers, sons or grandsons of Haiijun Dentu-
tus; Robert Fitz-PIamon, the renowned conqueror of Glamor-
ganshire, and Huimon, called " Dapifer," from his having
received the orhce of Lord Steward for the King. The latter
died issueless, and the former left four daughters only, three
of whom devoted themselves to conventual lives, and the
fourth, Mabel, married Robert Fitzroy, Earl of Gloucester.
Hamon Dentatus appears to have had at least two other sons,
Richard, of Granville, and Corbeil, ancestor of the Granville
family, illustrious in the ranks of the peers and landed pro-
prietors ; and Creuquer, as he is styled in the Battle Abbey
Roll, who inherited the Barony of Chatham from Robert Fitz-
Hamon and many of the Kentish estates of Hamon Dapifer.
Creuquer, or Crevecoeur, had his manors erected into a lord-
ship, called by way of distinction, " Baronia-de-Creviquer,"
and from Chatham being its head, his descendants generally
wrote themselves '' Domini de Cetham." We find these hon-
ors in the rs:^ign of Richard I. in possession of Haimon de
Crevequer, who died in 1203, leaving Robert Haimon his heir,
j Haimon joined the confederacy of the Barons under Simon de
' Montfort against Htiiry HI, ond was among those who in
j consequence lost their estates. From him lineally descended

illustrious Norman ancestor. "In the same comp;^ny was

where a vast fabric of later times has displaced his ancient
* donjon,' and where the adjoining church bears witness to
the splendors and bounty of the generation immediately fol-

glorious cognomenia of old Rome, and Hamon Dentatus be-
came the forefather of men famous in British as well as in
Norman history.^ One royal chronicler in his zeal speaks of

the rebel bv the strange name of Antichrist ; * but ns in the
case of Tinirsian of Falaise, the stain was wiped out in the
next generj:ition. His son, .Robert Fitz-lTamon, was destined
to set the seal to the work of 0(fa and of Harold, to press
down the yoke forever upon the Southern Cymry, and to sur-
round his princely fortress of Cardiff with the lowlier castles
of his twelve homagers of the land of Morgannog."
"The expression is very strange, but it is so taken by M.
Le Comte (See Appendix 0.), and I see not what else it can
mean,"*
Many pages of Freeman's History of the Norman Conquest
are devoted to tiie exploits of Hamon.
Robert Fitz-Kamou seems to have taken a very active part
in proclaiiaing William King, and the large estates given him
were but a filling reward from his sovereign. In describing
the battle wb.ich decided the conquest Freeman says, '• Wiilian^
novr sprang on his horse's back, and nov/ ready for battle, he
paused for a raon>ent at the head of his host. His gallant
equipment and bearing called forth the admiration of a.ll
around him, and a spokesman for their thoughts was found in
Hamon, the Viscount of the distant Thowars. He spoke, no
doubt, the words of all when he said that never had such a
knight been seen under heaven, and that the noble Count
would become a noble King."t
In speaking of the Council which proclaimed William
King, he says : " The military council was strongly in favor
of William's acceptance of the crown, but the decisive answer
was given, not by any of William's native subjects, but by one
Dentatus [Dan as Den«], avers Roberti quo nostro tempore in Anglia multa-
nim possessionum incubator exstitil." Robert died of a woujid received at
Tru<-hehai in 1106 (Will. Malms, Vol. V, p. 398), and his daughter Malx:>l
married the faiiioi;^ Robert, Earl of Glouces^.ter (Hist. Nov. 1, 3}.

6 OEIGIN OF THE NAME
of the most eminent of the foreign vohmteers, Hamon. Vis-
count of Tiiowars, a man, we are told, as ready of speech as
he was valient in fight, had on the height of Tclham, been
the first to hail the Dake as a future King."]:
Green's Conquest of England also devoies much space to
the Harnons. Katherine S, Macquoid, in her " Through Nor-
mandy," p. 407, describes the ancient fortress or castle of
Hamon in CreuUy, which is still in existence. She also gives
a very entertaining account of the early Lord and his sons.
The name is also found in the far north. In the "' Story
of the Volsungs," edited by H. li. Sparling, which is trans-
lated from the Icelandic, is mentioned in the mythology of
the north ; " Ilamund^" son of Sigmund, son of Volsung, son
of Resis, son of Sigi, son of Odin or \Vodin.
HAMMONDS IN ENGLAND.
The tracing of early family history and geneolcgy in
England is attended wiih many serious difiiculties. owing
chiefly to tlie vandalism of our Puritan ancestors, v.'ho in their
misguided zeal for the cause of Protestantism destroyed
churches, burned records, and sent whole ship loads of valua-
ble papers and documents to the Netherlands to be used in
paper making. The few remnants which escaped their fury
are mostly collected in the British Museum, and while the
amount deposited there seems large to the casual observer, it is
but a tithe of what existed throughout England prior to the
time of (^ueen Elizabeth. It is when the family historian and
geneologist attempts to follow the line of his ancestry back
beyond this period that lie begins to realize the great dearth
of records, unless his ancestors have been numbered among
the nobility, when some tecords of them may be found in the
Herald's College. Even if such t>e the case, he may still find
great diiiiculty in making ail of the connections, and finally
be obliged to give up the attempt, or frame a record from
patchwork, supported by small items of circum.stantial evi-
JFreeinaa's Conquest of England, Vol. Ill, p. 551.
oniGiN OF THE namt: 7
dence, ami such records of wills, administrations and court
records as may be found. The oldest parish registers, with
lew excc[^tions. now in existence, do not date back beyond the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, and but tew of the records to be
found in any of the parishes or manors of England are of an
earlier date. Comparatively little worthy of attention prior to
this time is found outside of the British Museum. With this
situation confronting the would-be family historian and gen-
eologist, he must needs gather irom the fragments such stray
items as he can find, and arrange them in as orderly a manner
as possible for those who shall come after him. But a discon-
nected and fragmentary record of the Hammonds can be found
from the time of the Coucjuest down to the time of Henry
VIIL There were a few notables in the family who have left
some trace behind them, but it would be the work of an or-
dinary lifetime to collect and arrange the little that remains.
The carlif:st known seat of the family seems to have been in
the County of Norfolk, and from there they seem to hnve
spread over Suffolk; Essex, Yorkshire and other couniies.
Hamon de Cleme was lord of a manor in Norfolk, which was
invaded by a band of men, who seized the corn and threshed
it, and cut down timber and carried it away in the year 1270.*
The earliest record of the name of Hammond which is
known to exist in Suffolk is the following indenture given on
p. 296 of the History of Long Melford, by the late Sir Wm.
Parker, Bart.
" 4. Ed. HI.
" We, Alexander le Turner, ot Melford, and Johane, his
wife, have granted to Adam Grencleve all rights and posses-

The witnesses are " John Peytenyh, John Ned and Rich-
ard Hamond."
"Given at Melford the Sunday next before the feast of
St. Dennys." 4. Ed. HI.
' (Oct' 9, 1331.)
For the next three centuries the Hammonds continued to
increase and spread all over this section of iSuffolkshire, until
there were many hundreds of the name living within a radius
of ten miles around Melford.
Thomas Hammond was Lord of the Manor of Cresseners,
County Suilolk, from ir)Gl to 1586. Ilis wife was Anne,
daughter of John Cawston, flsq., ot Hawkedon. (In his v/ill
Feb. 8, 1560, he spells the name Caustone.) He died in 1586,
and was succeeded by his son. Thomas Hammond.
He was the Thomas Hamoiide who was witness to the
will of Chri.stopaer Browne, of Hawkedv>n, in 15GS. (Bond's
Hi-t. Watertown, p. x iL^O.)
John HammoTid, of Cbbeston, County Suf"olk, wa>: Lord
of the Manors of Xevills in Ellingham, and of Dunston,
County Norfolk, and also owner of the manors of Ubbpston
and Walpole, County Suffolk, from 1541 to 1588. He was
succeeded by his son, John Hammond.
John Hammond, L. L. D., of Bury St. Edmunds, died in
1590. His wife was Agnes Nowell, sister of Alexander
Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's. His widow married Art'nur

ORIGIN OF THE NA:ME 9
Ward's will in 1G32. From his uncle, Sir William Ward, are
dcseendetl tjie Wards, Earls Dudley. Another brother of Dr.
John Hammond's was Henry Hammond, a wealthy clothier
of Bury St. Edmunds. Still another brotlier was Edward
\ Hammond, oi All Hallows on the Wall, London, who with
his brother Thomas purchased St. Paul's Hosj>ital, Canterbury,
in 1597. He died in London in 1G30. Still anotlier brotlier
was Matthew Hammond, the ancestor of the Hammonds of
Uflbnl, CouJity Suffolk. Thomas Hammond, of Weiherden,
County Suffolk, who died in 1601, had two daus^hters, Diana,
who married Jolin Dey nes, Esq., chief constable of Codden-
ham, County Suffolk, and Susanna, who married John Win-
terflood, Esq., of Alveley Hall, Assingtou, County Suffolk.
His only son. Thomas Hammond, died unmarried.
The Hammonds of Lawshall were nearly all agricultur-
ists, some of them, however, quite wealthy for the period in
which they liveil. Some apprar to have been landed gentry.
but nearly all of these left a family of younger sons, Vv'ho held
hinds as tenants under the Lord of the Manor. Of this family
was Major General Sir Tliomas Hammond, Lord of tiie Manor
of Whepstead, County Suffolk, who died leaving a widow and
one daughter, both of whom died soon after.
" The manor of Whepstead was held by Bury Abbey, by
gift of Theodred, Bisho{) of London, and was granted to Sir
William Drury in the 31st year of Henry VIJI. It afterward
passed through various families to the late Major General
Hammond, who repaired and modernized Plumpton Hall, a
large mansion, which is now occupied by a farmer, and has
been recently sold by the trustees of the late Sir Thomas
Hammond." It is now owned by Wm. Robert Beven, Esq.,
a London banker.
Sir Andrew Snape Hammond, of the ship Roebuck, who
was active in the war against the colonies in the Revolution,
and mention of whom is often found in American Archives,
was of the Suffolk branch of the Hammond family.
" Hamond of HoUey Grove, Berks, Dec. 10. 1783. Sir
Andrew Snape Hamond created a Baronet.

DR. JOHN HAMMOND.
Perhaps the most noted English femily, with the possible
exception of the family at St. Albans, County Kent, is that of
Dr. John Hammond, court physician to King James L. and
Henry, Prince of Wales, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
He wa? eminent in his profe.ssion, and was the ance.stor of
many men eminent in English history. His eldest son, John
Hammond, the author of "Leah and Ilachel." published in
London in 1656, came to Virginia in IG^M, remaining there
nineteen years, then removed to ^laryland, where he remained
two years before his return to England. His work, "Leah
and Rachel, the Fruitful Sisters," was a description of the
colonies of I\Iaryland and V^irginia. Another son of Dr. John
Hanimond was Major General Thomas Hammond, of Crom-
well's army, the father of Col, Robert Hammond, Governor of
the Isle of Wight, to whom King Charles I, surrendered.
Col. Robert Hammond was one of Cromwell's most trested
officers, and after Cromwell had secured control of the gov-
ernment, he appointed him Governor of the Isle of Wight, and
he took up his residence at Carrisbrook Castle, where the
King went vvith his attendants to surrender to him, probably
having decided upon that course owing to the fact that Col.
Rubnrt Hamn.ond v. as a nephew of his favoriie chaplain,
Rev. Henry Hammond, D, D.
(See Palfrey's Hist, of New England, Vol. 2, p, 107.)
A collection of lettt^rs between Col. ILiuimond and the
ORIGIN OF THE NAME 11
Committee of Lords, <fcc., published iu London in 17G4, and
which contains some characteristic letters from Cromwell to
Col. Hammond, is full of interest.
Another son of Dr. John Hammond was Rev. Henry
Hammond, D. D., one of the most noted English divines, born
Aug, 18, 1605. At the age of 13 years he was sent to Cam-
bridge, whore he was educaied at Eton and Oxford, and be-
came a Fellow of the University in 1625. His father died
about 1616, and left him without the advantage of his advice
and great inliuence, but by great perseverance and by means
of his great natural tr.lent, lie rose rajndly and soon secured
Court favor. in 1633 he was presented with the Rectory of
Penhurst, in Kent, and in 1043 became Arch-deacon of Chi-
chester. He soon became the favorite Court chaplain of King
Charles I, who proclaim.ed him the most natural orator he
had ever heard. He followed the King to the Isle ot Wight
and remained with him during his confinenjent in Carris-
brook Castle. In 1648 he retired to Westwood, the country
seat of Sir John Packwood, where he spent the remainder of
his life in literary lalx)r. His most celebrated work was
" Annotations and Paraphrasis on the New Testament," pub-
lished in 1653 ; another work was ''Whole Duty of ^lan."
His collected works were published in four volumes, and a
volume of his sermons was published some years later. He
died in 1660, and was buried in the Church at Hampton,
where Humphrey, Bishop of Sarum, caused to be erected a
fine monument of white marble bearing the name, *' Henricus
Hammondus," and a long inscription in Latin. He was
noted for his piety, great charity and liberality. He never
married.
Rev. Mark Noble, the eminent English author, says in
one of his works: "This ancient and knightly i^imily were
greatly divided in their religious and political opinions."
In England tliere were " Cavaliers " and " Round Heads,"
Catholics and dissenters. Many of the " Cavaliers " came to
N irgir-ia and Maryland, while the Hammonds of New Eng-
12 0Rir4L\ OF THE xa:\ie
lane], so far as is known, all (lerive from Puritan or " Roun^l
Head" ancestry.
Probaljly the most noted and widely known family bearing
the name in En-land has been that of St. Albans Court^
Nonington, Vo. Kent. So far as is known but one of this fam-
ily has ever made his home in America. This was Edward
Hammond, who came to Virginia in lG3o and introduced the
culture of silk worm.s. Some of his letters are still extant.
with the faiidly at St. Allxms Court.
This family, which A.as probably of Suffolk, or Norfolk
origin, traces its ancestry back to John Hamon, a tenant to
the Abbot of St. Albans temp, under Henry VKI, v.dio begun
the purcliase of the Manor of St. Albans.
His son, Sir Thomas Hannnond, completed the purchase
in Mol. Sir Thomas, knighted in 1548, married Katherinp,
daughterof John Skclly, Esr]., of Paiersham, in Sussex, and
had six sons and two danL,diters.
The eldest son, Sir William Hannnond, knighted in 160S,
married Elizabeth, daughter of Antlvcaiy Anchor. Esrj., of
Bishopsbourne, by Margaret, his ^\-ife, daugluli^^-r of Edward
Sandys, Archl>ishop of York. He had three sons and five
daughters. His sons were Anthony, Edward and Willian.i.
Sir William died in KHo and was succeeded by his son,
Anthony Hamm..n.l, Esq., of St. Albans Court, who married
Anne, daughter of Sir Dudley Diggs, of Chilham Castle, Mas-
ter of the Rolls under King Charles I.
He liad four .sons and some daughters. His sons were
first — \\'illiam, his successor ; second, Dudley ; three An-
thony Hammond, of Somersham Place, Member of Parliament
and Commissioner of tlie Navy during the reign of Queen
Anne, and known as Sllccr Tongncd Hammond. He married
.Jan.e, daughter of Sir Walter Claryes, Bart., and had issue,
first— Thomas Ihimmond, Est}., of Somersham Place, who
married Elizabeth Adams, and died in 17-38. Second— James
Hammond, the eh-gaic poet, M. P. from Truro, born in 1710,
died in 17-12. Third— Edwar.l Hammond, of the Royal
Navy, who die<l at sea.
orhtIX of the name 13
Wiiliani Hammond, Esq.. eldest son of Anthony Ham-
mond, Esq., who succeeded him at St. Albans Court, was ■
born in July, 1752 ; married in December, 1785, Elizabeth,
eldest daughter and co-heiress of Osmond Beauvier, D. D., of
Canterbury. He \\ as succc-<}ded by liis son, William Osmond
Hammond, Esq., born in April, 1790 ; married in July, 1815,
]\Iary Graham, eid&st daughter of Sir Henry Oxendon, B.ut..
of Bro^jme Park, by whom he had three sons and three daugh-
ters. He wos J. P. and D. L. and High Sheriff in 1840.
\Mlliam Osmond Hannnond, Esq., was succeeded by his
eldest son, William Oxendon HammoJid, Esq.. the present oc-
cupant of :-t. Albans Court.
The Arms were issued to Sir Tboma.s Hammond in 1548,
by r>arker, Garter King at Arms, under Khig Edward VI,
and are a.s follows :
'• Argon I. on a chevron snble, betweii-n tliree pellets, each
chaigi <1 Willi a mardet of the field, as many escallop'S, or, with-
in a ]>ordure engrailed, vert.
Tiesi — A hawks head, collared gules, rays issuing, or. The
motto is, '• ih-o Kege et Patria." (For King and Country.)
This Coat of Arms, with the exception of the Crest, is
very similar to the arms of the Hanmionds of Suffolk ahd Nor-
folk, and may be taken to indicate a close family connection
with those fiimilies.
This is the Coat of Arms used by some of the Hannnonds
in America, but it is not that to which, if any, many of them
can lay any claim whatever by right of descent.
A Coat of Arms and Crest exhibited by an American
citizen, descended from Revolutionary ancestry, is at best but
a harmless diversion attended with more or less bad taste, but
the Arms, if any, to which the lamilies mentioned in the fol-
lowing pages can lay any shadow of a claim are either the
very ancient ones described below, or those of some one of the
Suffolk finiiilit.'s of more recent date.
These ancient Arms are the earliest recorded to the name
in the Herald's College.
Tbe shield is Norman, or heart shaped. Argent, a cheve-
14 OEIGIN OF THE NAME
roil sable, cbargod ^vith tliree escallops, argent ; between three
pellets, sable, eliarged with a martlet, argent, within a bordiire
engrailed. Gu.
Crest — On a helmet and wreath of three colors, a lions
head, erased. Gu.
The motto is " Tentanda Via Est," meaning, ^1 icay must
be tried.
The Arms of Hammond of counties Suffolk and Xorfolk,
as furnished by H. G. Somerby, Esq., in 1852, are as follows :
*' Or, on a cheveron sable, three Cornish claughs, argent.
" Crest — An elephants head, argent, ducally gorged and
eared. Or."
The following named are found in the " Royal Kallen-
der and Annual Register" for 1778 :
Court of Exchequer. — Appraiser, Richard Hanmiond,
Esq. Navy Office. — Chatham Yard, jMaster Attendance, N.
Hammond. Ca[itain, R. N., connnissioned Dec. 7, 1770,
Andrew Snape Hannnond. Lieutenant, R. N., commission-
ed April 27, 1747, W. Hammond. Paymaster to Out Pen-
sioners, Thomas Hammond.
Copies and abstracts have been secured of about two hun-
dred early Hammond wills in Suffolk and Norfolk, man\- of
which are extremely interesting, but space has not allowed of
the admission of but few of these in this work. Court and
other early records of Suilblk have been thoroughly searched
for Hammond evidences, which must be excluded for the same
reason.
The Parish Registers of Lavenham and surrounding
parishes have also had careful attention and the gleanings
from a few of these are given below. In most cases these
records have been examined for many years after our ancestors
had settled on American soil, and some of these are very
interesting in showing families and descendants of those who
remained in England. The similiarity of family ncirrjes in the
fcAV generations after the emigration will al.so be noticed,
particulai'ly so in the lamily at Great Waldingiiel'i, not over
two miles south of Lavenham.

EARLY HAMMOND RECORPS 47
the mention of his " house in Melford" in the will of his son,
John llamonde, of Lavenham, which follows.
So far as known he had but the one son, buttliere appear
to have been others of the name in Melford, who may have
been his sons.
(II) JOHN HAMMOND. OF LAVENIIAM.
John Hamonde, the clothier, of Laveuham, County of
Suffolk, England, born about 1500, son of John Hamonde, of
Melford, appears to have been the first of the name to live in
Lavenham. He undoubtedly settled tii<.'re in coniviction with
the cloth industry, of which Lavenham was at that time the
center. So m.auy of the early families of W'atertown and
vicinity came from Lavenham and the surrounding country,
and as many of them were connected by ties of marriage
with the Hammonds, either before the emigration to America
or after the settlement here, it is deemed advisable to give a
brief sketch of the town and its history in this connection. As
seen to-day it is a very interesting old town, with quaint old
streets with houses on both sides having overhanging gables.
The ancient Market Cross, the curious structure known to-day
as the "Old Workhouse," the ancient parish church whicli
has been pronounced the most excellent example of late per-
pendicular work to be found in all England ; all of these,
together with the delightful location and naturally
picturesque scenery, go to make up a picture not easily
equalled in all East Anglia, The beautiful old church stands
in a commanding situation, well calculated to show its mas-
sive tower at itxS very best. Tiie great square tower is over
140 feet in height, and looks as if it had never been completed,
for the twenty-four coats of arms of Thomas Spring, "the
rich clothier of Lavenham," v/ho was one of its builders,
reach exactly to the top of the tower, suggesting that a lew
fvet more, at least, were meant to be added. The tradition is
48 EARLY II-OniOXD RECOPvDS
that the architect was killed by foiling from this to^^e^ when
it had reached its present heiglit, and that tins was considered
a warning from on high to discontinue the work upon it. The
principal part of the church, a>* it stands to-day, was built by
the DeVeres, Earls of Oxford, who had a mansion not far
away, and a park \yhich took up more than half of the
Parish, and by Thomas Spring, between the years Idh'O and
152.J. The vestry and the east end of the chancel aro parts
of an earlier church. The interior dimensions of the churcli
are 68xlo6 feet. The arms of the DeVeres, who bore on their
shields a star, are to be seen in many places. Over the south
porcli are six shields, which represent the connection of the

carvings and decorations are beautiful, and the churcli is
well considered one of the finest old churches in ail Eng-

Of the ancient town itself, it is well knowri how the great
and wise King Edward IIL impressed with the fact that
England v>'as sending her wool to Flanders to be made into
cloth, induced the Flemings to come to England and settle
and tb.'.is encouraged the manufacture of cloth at home.
Lavenham was one of the towns in wdnch tliey iirst settled
and it became the center of the cloth trade. The town be-
came rich with giant strides, and the " clothiers," as the cloth
manufacturers were called, became proud and opulent, some
of their sons and grandsons becoming country gentry, and
Eords of the ^lanor were raised to knighthood, while others
took orders in the cluireh or became men of letters. Notable

(III) THOMAS HAMMOND. f
Thomas Hammond, of Lavenham, .son of John and A^rnes |
( ) Hamonde, was probabl}' born about 154o. The earliest ]
existing records in Lavenham date from about loGO and no \
record of his birth can be found. He was evidenil}- tin agri- I
culturalist and the possessor of some hinds in the parish. He f
gave up the liousc left him by his father in Mclforci and re- ;
mained in Lavenham, while his brother William appears to i
have gone to Melford, where he reared a family of eight chil- ;
dren, of whom Thomas came to America and settled in Pling- \
ham, removing to Cambridge Village (now Newton) a few j
years later. f
The Court Rolls of the ^Lulor of Melford contain a few >
refeiences to these brothers-, among which are the following: \
lo77. "At a Court Bii row, held 19th Elizabeth, Thon.as Hamonde ]
surrenders a house and land^s in Hall St." • {

EARLY IIA^IMDXD RECORDS 51
Both the Hammonds and Warrens lived on Hall St., in
Melford, and there was considerable intimacy between the
families prior to the emigration to America. This intimacy
appears to have continued for many years after the emigra-
tion. Thomas Hammond married in Lavenhiun, May 14,
1573, Rose Trippe, whose parentage has not been ascertained.
She had a brother, William Trippe, who was a witness to
Thomas Hammond's will in 1589. Thomas died November
24, 1589, while still a young man, leaving his widow Rose
and a family of s)nall children.
She married again April 30, 1590, Robert Stuard, (Stew-
art) of Lavenham. and continued in j-iosscssion of the estate
left by Thomas Hammond until 1647 or after. In the Parish
Register, of Lavenhara, there is recorded the birth of a daugh-
ter Anne, but no daughter Susan, while his will mentions bis
daughter Susann. it is evident that the namt' shoald be.
Susanna, as this name occurs frequently in later generations
in America.

(I) WILLIAM HAMMOND,
OF WATERTOWN, MASS.
Willi iin Hammoiivl, the emigrant ancestor of this hranch
of the family in xlmeiicii, was born in Lavenbam, County of
Suffolk, England; where he was baptized October i>0, 157o.
Lie was the only survivmg son of Thomas and Rose (rn^roe)
Hammond, his younger brother, Thomas, having died in
infancy. He was left an orphan by the death of his father in
1589 iind very little can be learned about his early life. He
married there June P, IG'So, Elizabeth Paine, and their
children were all born in Lavenharn. It is uncertain ju^t
when he came to America, as no record has been found, but
there are records in Boston of a William Hammond, as early
as 1G32, and this may have been the same man. This, how-
ever, is very uncertain, as it may have been the \\'illiam
Hammond who settled in Lynn, in 1636, and who is supposed
to have been the eldest son ot William of Watertown, liorn iu
Laveuham in 1007. The llrst positive records of this V\''illiani
liammond cWe to be found in Scitnate, M-i.=s., [)rior to 1636,
tlie name being found there as " Hamans." Deane's History
of Scituate, p. 277, says " he soon deceased or removed" fjoni
th'Mv an..] il was iimloubtediy at about this time (1636) that
iu- becan::c; a settler in Watertown, as no record ofanearlit-r
.^
54 Vr\TF.KTOV/y, ^lASS.
date has been found of him tliere. He piob?-bIy located in
Watertown at aboat the same time as did \i\s brothers-in-law,
William Paine and Dr. Simon Eire, all of whom seem to iiave
followed tlieir brother-in-law, John PaLie. wh.o was one of the
first settlor.^. No reeord of the date of arriv::! in America of
his elder children has been found and it is supposed that they
came with him, two or more years prior to the arrivtd of his
wife and younger children, who came in the ship "Francis,"
from Ipswich, EcLdand, in April, 16:34. It is possible that
he came with his eider chil-lren, in company with liis brother-
in-law, John P-jge. prior to, or ai>out l6-^>\ Init it hardly seems
reasonaljle to suppose that he was here so long before the
arrival of his wife and younger children. It is probable that
he was in Scituate some time before removing to Watertown.
The statement tliat his daugliter, Anne, married Rev. John
Lothrop' is not proven, and though there is some evidence to
show sucli eonriection it seems iniproljable. Dr. Poland
Hammond, in his Hammond Geneology, published in 1894,
uses the quotation from Rev. Mr. Lothrop's Journal to
establish a connection in his own line, and the lamilv of
William Hammond, of Watertown, is su[)posL'd to have been
connected with his line in some w:'y. In a note on p;ige 9 of
his work I^e says, "Rev. John Lothrop established a church at
Scituato Harbor, Mass., and afterwards at Barnstal/ie, Mass.
He is said to have married for his second wife, Anne, widow,
daughter of William Hammond, of Watertown, Mass,, and
had Barnabas, Abigail, Bathshua and John. But the evidence
that the widow, Anne, was the daughter of William Ham-
mond is far from convincing."
The marriage of William's daughter, Elizabeth, to Samuel
House, of Scituate, which must have taker, place s* -on after
her arrival in this conniiy. however, establislics a connecting
link between Scituivte and Watertown, Dean^'s History of
Soitu:;g-, p. 2?^9, says, "Samuel House liad lands assigned, by
the cv)nnnittee for laying out huvh. in H;:".!, soutli-east of
Colman's hill, between the lo^>: of Rev. Mi. Loth.rop and
Richard Foxwell. He probably was one of Mr. Lothrop's
WILLIAM HAAniONn 55
Church, who came with him from Loiulon." Tiie Pastoral
Journal of the Rev. John Lotlivo}), reprinted in the ^. E.
Hist. Gen. Register (VoL IX, pp. 279-87; Voh X. pp. 37.-43)
contains the following entry : '' Elizabeth Hammond, my
sister, having a dismi:?siou from the churoli in Watertown,
was joined April 16, 1()38," which shows relation-
ship between the fjimilies. If Elizabetii v/as the mother
of the elder children of Samuel House she must have been his
wife prior to this time, as the records show that he had a
daughter Elizabeth baptized in 1636. It seems probable,
however, that she M'as - liis second wife and not the
mother of this child. Xo record of her marringe has
been found and she was a widow at the time of her father's
death in 1662, House having died in 1661. It is probaljle
that William Hammond's other children were in Scituate with
their married sister a part of the time, at least, as the youngest
son, John, is recorded tis able to bear arms iliere in 1643.
William Hammond was admitted freeman in ^Vatertown, May
25, 1636, and was grantee of seven lots and jairehaser of three
lots before 1644. His homestead of 40 acres was situated on
the west of Connnon Street. It was hounded on the east and
north by lands of liis brother-in-law, Dr. Simon Eire, on the
west by John Sim son, Isaac Sterne and John Warren, and on
the south by Thomas Boyden. Bond's Plist. of Watertown
(p. 1088) says, " It is probable that William Hammond
settled first on the Cambridge Road, very near the Cambridge
line. Whether this was a grant to him the records do not
show. He sold it early and settled on his 40-acre homestall,
situated east of Pequusset meadow. He also owned three
small lots in Pequusset meadow, one of these granted to him
and the other two purchased. This homestall passed to his
son (grandson) Thomas." Maivh 10, 1642, in the division of
lands, he v/as granted lot Xo. 76, in the 4th Division,
containing loo acres, and ihis. with his other holdings, made
him one of the largest land owners in the town. The records
do not show th:it he was often an oiiice holder in the town
and this may have been due to his independence in religious
56 WATERTOWX, MASS,
matters, which uiay have made him unpopular v.'ith his more
puritanical neighbors, although he does not appear to have
been so unpopular as some of his most intimate friends. iiis
near neighl^or and niost intimate friend appears to have been
John AVarren, who came from the same locality in Suffolk
County, England, and between whose family and his own
there appears to have been consideralde intimacy for several
generations prior to the settlement in America. Mr, Warren
seems to have had even less regard for the rigid puri-
tanical regulations of the time tlurn his friend, Hammond,
and to have become rather more unpopuhvr thereby. In Oct.
1651, Warren was fined 20 shillings "for an oflensc against
the laws concerning baptism," and April 4, 1654, "for neglect
of publick worship" 14 Sabbaths at 5 shillings each. March
14, 1658, he was ordered to be " warned lor not atten;ling
publick v/orship," but '• old Warren was not to be found in
town." May 27, 16G1, the houses of "old Vuirren and Good-
man Hammond" were ordered to be seiirched for Quakers, for
whom they were known to have considerable sympathy.
Considerable independence in religious matters, great love
of liberty and sympathy for all who are persecuted for con-
science sake seem to have been inherent family traits for
generations past. It is probable that William Hammond and
his intimate friend, Warren, were both inclined towanl the
religious teaching of Roger Williams, but were too conser-
vative to stibject themselves to the persecution which his
more radical followers were compelled to endure. This view
is supported by the fact that many of their descendants were
rigid adherents of the Baptist Church. The tendency, how-
ever, in this family has been toward great liberty of thought
in religious matters and many of the descendants have been
connected with the Unitarian and Universalist denomi-
nations, vsdiile many in the later generations have held mem-
bership in no chun-h.
There is not, so far as is known, a clergyman of the
name among the descendants of William HamnionfJ, but on
the other hand no criminal records have been found. The
,trj.
d^
Yv'ILl.IAM ilA^DIOND
57
research has been very thorough and complete aiul the free-
dom from aiiv taint of crime or known innnorality nmst
prove verv gratifying to the descendants. The standard of
intelhcjence and general education has been very high, but it
is to bo deeplv regretted that tliere have been so few college
men in the famiiv, even where the wealth and position have
been such that a college education could have been obtained
without any grt:at di'flicuUy. All, so far as known, have been
great readers, studious and thoughtful people,, honorable,
upriL;ht and law-abiding, but rather too modest and retiring
by nl.ture and n-t given to pushing forward in public matters.
The inventorv of ibe estate of " :^[r. Nathaniel Sparrowhawke/'
of Cambridge, Mass., who died June 27, 1G47, mentions among
the assets sums owing from " Old Warren " and " Old Ham-
mon.l," of Watertown. (See N. E. Hist, Gen. Register,
Vol. Vii).
The will of William Hammond is on file at East Cam-
bridge, Mass., (Middlesex Probate No. 7167), dated July 1,
IGG-i'; proved Dec. 16, 1672. He leaves to wife Elizabeth,
his whole estate during her life. To son, John, all lands, &c.
after her death.
To Thomas Hamond, "sonne of my sonne, Tliomas
. Hamond, deceased.," £40 at the age of 21 years, '^f said
Thomas, or any for him, oppose this will," then he is not to
liave the £40.
" Unto daughter Barnes, £30, the same to remam unto
her children." ^ " In case she again become a widow" she is
to have woo<i from' his lands during her widowhood. To four
children of mv daughter, Elizabeth House, deceased, various
sums of monev. " To Adam Smith, son of daughter, Sarah,
if he Ixdiave obediently to my wife after my decease, one mare

He had given landsto his .«on, Thomas, prior to his death
in 1055, an_d on Dec. 12. 1G47, he had given Tlionias a letlrT
of attorney to obtain possession of lands in Lavcnham, Eng-
land, which were then possessed by his (William's) mother,
Mrs. Rose Stewart. (See Pope's Pioneer's of N. E., p. 210.) ;
His son, William, died in 1636, and it seems improbaVde
that he left heirs as no mention is found of them. William
became surety for a debt in England owed by his son at the
time of his death. (Lett-er of Robert Ryece to Gov. Winthrop.)
His wife, Elizabeth, aged 47 years, with children Eliza- '
beth, aged 15, Sarah, aged 10 and John, aged 7 years, '
embarked at Ipswich, England, in the ship, "Francis," John
Cutting, Master, in April, 1634, and joined her husband in \
New Englan<l. She was born in Nowton Parish, near Buiy .
St. Edmunds, County of Suliblk, England, in 1587, an^l was ^
the daughter of William Paine.* Anthony Paine, living in \
Nowton Parish, had a son, William, bapt. Dec. 2, 1565. '

one of the largest proprietors in 1G3G-7, but he soon removed
to Ipswich and settled there with his brothrr, Robert. He
was a merchant and lar<i-e landowner, a pubiic-.s]nrited man
and very popular in the atfairs of the Colony. About \G'r2
he removed to Boston where he died in 16G0. In his will
he left the sum of £5 to each of the children of his sister,
Elizabeth Hammond. Her sister, Dorothy Paine, married
Dr. Simon Eire, vrho \vas oue of the early settlers in \\'ater-
town, where he took a very prom.inent part in tlic atlairs of
the town until his removal to Bo:4on aLnr-ut ItMo. She was
tb.e mother of all of his children except two by Ids
second wife, ^hirtha, whom he married in Boston after tiie
death of wife Dorothy. Phebe Paine married John Page,
wdio came to America from Dedham, County of Essex, En^:-
land, in 1630. He was one of the first seitlers in Watertown
and V\"as the first Constable, having been appointed by trie
Court in Sept.. 1G30. He died in \V:iterU»wn Dec. 1-^, iG76,
aged about 90 years. She died Sept. 2o, 1G77, aged S7 years.
In a suit in 1G52, Hammond vs. Bridge, it appears that
Thomas Hammond had an imcle, Page. In testimony in
Court in 1678 concerning the estate of John Page, Lieut. Jobn
Hammond is a witness when Page is called his uncle. (See
Bond's Hist, of Watertown, pp. 270, 865.) The evidence
given above, and other similar evidence, proves conclusively
the parentage of Elizabeth (Paine) Hammond and were it not
for such existing evidence the proof of her parentage would
have been impossible as there was another ElizaW^th Paine
who was of almost exactly the same age and who was born in

widow, died in Lavenham in 1594. She had sons, Thomas

have been impossible to identify her. The ancestry of Mi-s. I
Eliznbeth (Paine) Hammond will be found very fully set ;
forth in "Paine Family of Ipswich, Mass.," l>y Albert \V. I
Paine, of Bangor, Me. She died in Watertown, Mass., Sept. ^
14, 1670, "aged about 90" the record says, but really at the |
age of 83 years. |
An explanation of the connection between the families 1
of William Hammond and Timothy Hawkiiis has been found. |
That the relationsliip was close there seemed to be little |
doubt. Timothy Hawkins was a proprietor in Watertown in |
l<i3G-7, and died in 1651. His widow, Hannah, adm. his '■
estate and m, 2d Ellis Barron, Sr. She must have been the ^
daughter "Anne Barnes" mentioned in the will of William |
Hammond, as the name Barron was often written "Barnes" I
and Anne was often written for Hannah. Her children were I
Hannah, Timothy and Mehitable. xlfter the d.eath of Timothy ''
Hawkins his son, Timothy, chose Thomas Hammond as his j
guardian and his daughter, Mehitable, chose John Plammond. f
This connection seems so well established that it has been ?
ado})ted in this work, leaving to future geneologists the probleni j
of establishing the connection v,'ith Rev. John Lothrop. |
There is some evidence to show that the family of |
William Hammond had lived in Dedham, Essex, Englan.d, J
for a period at least, before their emigration to America. The i
evidence in the suit of Ednmnd Sheannan, of Dedham, Essex, |
against Thomas Hammond, in April, 1048 (see Bond's {
Watertov\-n, p- 778), and the subsequent proceedings, in which ]
"Bazal" Angier and Nath. Baxter are witnesses, and also the |
marriage of John Hammond to Abigail Salter, of Dedham <
(see v.'ill of Elizabeth Salter, in which Bazaleel Angier is ^
named as a witness in 16(jO), all show a connection with that \
town in Englnnd. It is possible that William removed there \
from Lavenham some yeai-s prior to the emigration to America. |
He d. in Watertown, :Mass., Oct. 8, 1G02, and his I
widow, Elizabeth, d. Sept. 14, 1670. |

family of children. There were Hammonds in b.ynn a few
years later. A William Hammond appears tlxere in .1002 as
witness in an action for debt. Joseph Fiske nianied tlicre
Elizalxdh Hammond, and he. with William Hammond, was
admitted inhabitant in Rehoboth, ]\Iass., in 1087. Probablv
nearly all of the RhO'le Island Hammonds are descendants of
this family.
P'urther evidence of the connection with the Ihnnnionds of
Watertown, exists in the entries of births of William Ham-
mond's chiLlren, born at Rehoboth, on ]»age 23, of the Water-
to\\n records. This William of Rehoboth, may have been a
grandson of William Hammond, of Watertown.

Timothy llawkin:^ w.is a p;rantto of seven lots in Water- s
town. His homestead of 10 acres was bou.ule.l on the east by .^
Common Street, west by William Hammond, north by the \
highway and south by John Lawrence. In liis will he left s
the sum of .^40 to his \vidow, who is called " Hannah." £40 i
to his eldest sou Timothy, £20 each to his two daughters and •
the balance of his estate for the education of his youngest •
daughter. So far as is now known he ha<l but one son and |
two daughters. Her second husband Ellis Harron v>-as ad- -^
mitteti freeman in Watertown, June 2, 1641. He was Con- I
stable in 1658 and Selectman in 16G3 and 1673. By his first ''
wife, Grace, he had seven or eight children. His eldest son, ^
Ellis Barron, Jr., had been married to her eldest daughter, j
Hannah or Anna Hawkins, some years before the union of
tlieir surviving parents. Pie died in December, 1676.
There is no doubt whatever that she was the daughter
Anne " Barnes," mentioned in the will of William Ham- ,
mond, as Barnes was frequently wriiten for Barron and her |
daughter appears to have been known both as Anna and
Hannah. Her will, dated Aug. 1 8, 1683, proved Oct. 6, 1685, |
mentions son Timothy Hawkins, daughter Hannah Barron's 'j
children ; Mary, daughter of Timothy Hawkins, and grand-
children Benjamin and Benoui Gartield.

John Cross, aged 50, and wife, Hannah, aged 38, em-
barked at Ips.vich, Eng., for New England in April, 1634. He
WATERTOWN, MASS. 63
settled in Ips\vich, Mass.. where he appears to have taken a
very active part in the affairs of the town. He prol>al;ly was
in Hampton two or three years before locating permanently
in Ipswich, as his onlv chiid was baptized there. He was
a(huitted freeman in Ipswich, in 1G39; was Ee[>resentative in
1(!40. (See Bond's Watertown, p. 189.)
In December. IGGO. he placed a lien for the payment of
" ten shillings yearly toward a free scliool" on his farm near
the Rowley line, and in his will made about the same time he
bequeathed the same to his duugliter, Hannah, with other
property and the sum of £100. to be paid her after the decease
of his wife, to whieb l", quest he added tiie pruviso: ••But in
case my .said daughter doth depart this life without issue
leaving behind her, then my will is to give the said hundred
pounds to the town of Ii<swich, to remain toward the maiute-
nance of a free school forever. The which is to be ord*Mv^<1
and disjtosed of by the Church of Ipswich for the said work."
This contingency, however, did not occur as his daughter left
one only child, Thomas Hammond, who afterv.-ards entered
into possession of the estate as sole heir of his mother. (See
Hammatt Papers, p. 67, and also Ipswich Antiquarian Papers,
by Cadwell and Dow).
" At a meeting among ye Selectmen of Ipswich, held 21 :
2 : 1705-6, Whereas Mr. Thomas Hammond, of this tov.n is
come to reside upon ye farme, yt his late grandfather, .John
Cross, gave to his daughter, ye sd Hammond's mother, s'
Hammond being y' only surviving heir y' we know of to P
(j)ossess) land and other lands of his late father Hammond
dyed seized of" (See Ipswich Town Records.) John Cross
<lied in Ipswich in 1662, and his widow in Watertown in
1669.
Thomas Hammond .seems to have I'Cen an active, enter-
prising man during his short career. In the Court tiles of
April 14, 1648. is found a paper of which the foil«'>\ving is an
abstract : "1 Edmund Shearman, of Dedham, Clothier ; do
adventure by sea. two broadcloths, by Thomas Hammond, of
Xew England, planter. Signed Thomas llamnioud; Edmund
G4 WILLIAM HAMMOND
Shearman." By this it would appear that Tliomas had ■;
visited Enirhind in 1G48 and hrouirht over with liini some
cloth for sale in the Colony. There appears to have, never 'i
been any settlement for the same prior to the deatli of Thomas, |
which oecuried a few years later, for April S. 1C60, Edmund .,;
Shearman and Henry Wright, of Dedham, County of Essex, '"
give a power of Attorney to Rev. John Sherman, and in U]')3 •
be brouglit suit against the estate for the recovery of tlie price
of the same. This pov/er of attorney is witnessed by "Bazal"
Angier and Nath. Backster. There appeai-s to have been some
controversy over the will of Thomas Ilannnond, as on June
21. IBoS '• V\'illiam Vraynes and John Barker, indifferent .^
persons, v;ere appointed by the Court to determine the contro- ■:
versies among the heirs of Thomas Hammond." (See Bond's i
Watertown, pp. 778-9.) How these controversies could have j
arisen under the will which follov/s is not now kiiuvvn. Tliere •
was but one heir, his wi'iow being dead, and that heir a iriinor
child and the controversy must have arisen over the guardian- '„
ship of his son ami the custody of his property during his
minority. April 4, 1654, his nephew, Tini(:»thy Hawkins, Jr., .•
chose him as his guaixlian. '■]
His widow, Hannah (Cross) Hammond, survived hira .•
but a little over a year. She died March 24, 1657. She made '^
her will March 19, 1657, five days prior to her decease, proV> |
ably then knowing that her end was near and wishing to 'j
make every arrangement possible for her infant son, who was |
so soon to be doubly orphaned. I
In this will she gave to her mother one-half of the rent ^
of the Cross farm in Ipswich. To John Sherman and each of ■•
his chiWren £5; to John Livennore £4. 12; the remainder ot f
her estate to her mother and John Sherman, in trust for her i
son, who was committed to their care. The inventory of !

Lydia Piatt. (TIatts) of Rowley. Mass., and widow of Samuel
Lancaster, who was drowned in Rowley River, Sept. 19, 1710,
He was left an orphan when but a few months of age. His
grandfather, William Hammond, died when he was but four
years of age and his grandmother, Cross, surviving but a few
years, it is probaljle that his uncle, Lirut. John Hammond, of
Watertown, took charge of his bringing up and education. He
appears tohavebeen much bettereducated than the average man
of his time. He was a fine penman as is sliown by specimens
of his handwriting which are still in existence. It seems that
he had some military training in his younger days, probably
owing to the influence of his uncle, Lieut. John, and ht; is
credited with service in King Philip's war, in the Companies
of Capt. Josepli Syll, in 1675, and Capt. Joseph Cutter, in
1676. It is probable that he took an active part in the military
affairs later in life as he is mentioned as " Lieut." in the
records at Ipswich. Growing up as he did without parental
restraint he early learned self-reliance anrl became one of the
most active, enterprising men of the locality in ^^•hich he lived.
The following account found on page 143, of the Essex County
Geneological Register, shows the characteristics of the man :
"Thoma.^ Ilainiuon.I if livins^ now v,oul,l be one of our !il>oral men.
Paul Jewef.t, who wa~ rtniteaifiorary with him, rei>ort^ him thror.^'h his son
Dea. J.>-hua Jewett, that Hammond had no particular reverance for Sunday,
pant^on-Mehnn-h ; that he w:w a hus^tler in bu«ine?s and paid little regard to
time or pla.-e ar-joit he ml^jht coin an hono.-t dollar. He wa^^l- rn tr.u early;
the stiff orthotloxy of hi.s day condemned him. and the ' faithful' said the
Devil held him. It became the v,-hispered .^ecret that 'Tom iianuuond had
WATERTOWX, MASS. 73
eoia himself to the Devil.' Thne passed, 'Tom' kept business in a whirl
I and made money. lie owed .several of his townsmen, as would be natural
with a man who drove his business. Go.ssip v.as rife and 'Tom' resolved to
test it— in modern phase he suspended. Then calling in his creditor!?, vho
were also his accusers, he said : ' Gentleaien, there are two piles ot" money ;
the larger pile is ample to pay you all. but I got it through Satanic iniluc-nce,
and you must take the responsibility of its spell upon you. The other pile
will pav you only a small dividenil, but it is free. I hoarded it before I
made a league with the I)e\il. Take which you will and sign a releav^e.'
They took the smaller pile. Few people now-a-<lavs play a shrewder game."
Thomas Hammond and his wife rest in the Ro\\-le.y
Cemetery, on the left near the entrance. Their headstones
are beautifully engraved in the fashion of that time, and read
as follows ;
HERE LIES YE BODY OF
MR. THOMAS HAMMOXD,

. He appears to have lived in Ipswich on the old Cross farm,
after his second marriage, until about 1690 when he removed
to Watertown, where he had considerable pro})erty interests.
He was admitted freeman April 18, 1690, and continued to
reside there until about 1706, when he returned to Ipswich
and spent the remaining years of his life on the old farm
situated near the west end of Muzzey hill, adjoining the town
of Rowley. He was a large owner of real estate as is shown
by the Essex Registry of Deeds. The following abstracts
serve to show the relationship between the parties and prove
conclusively that Thomas married a third wife and had two
I daughters by her, although this marriage is not mentioned in
I any of the works now in print.
I June 11, 1713, he conveyed the old Cross farm to his sons,
i David and Natlumiel Hammond, " in con.'-'ideration of parental

love." The farm is (lescribed as fo]lo^vs : " Bounded on ye
cart way which lyeth next ye line yt parts Ipswich and
Rowley, and on ye N. W. side by Bradstreet form, so-called,
containing 100 acres, subject to a yearly lien which John
Cross, the former owner, put upon said farm for the support
of ye Grammar school." The deed is witnessed by Nehemiah
Jewett, Philip Nelson and Elizabeth (her X mark) Buo-
(Essex Registry 25 ; 243.)
Nov. 7, 1717, he conveyed " for love and afffction to my
son-in-law, Ephraim Jewett— thatch lot on Rogers island in
Ipswich an I new up-land lot at Jeffries." His wife, Hannah,
relincjuished lier right of dower in the same. (E^sex Ret^i^trv
32 ; 203.) "" " ^
May 23, 1724, Thomas Hammond "in consideration of
parental love which I bear my son, Thomas Hammond of
W'atertown." conveyed to him a salt marsh in Ipswich with
the proviso that, "• should I die before my now present wile
my said son, Thomas, shall pay to my said wife the sum of
£40, provided she doth acquit rights of .lower, or power of
thirds in all of my estate according to Covenant, and not else."
Thomas was also required to pay his brothers, David and
Nathaniel Hammond, £'> each. Proved in Court April 13,
1725, by witnesses Nathaniel Knowlton and Thomas Man-
ning, to have been the deed of Thomas Hannnond, late of
'Ipswich, deceased. (Essex Registry 44 ; ] 58.)
March 28, 1724, he conveyed "to my daughter Elizabeth
Jewett, the now wife of Ephraim Jewett, in consideration of
parental love," Occ, lands in Ipswich and Rowley. (Essex
Registry 44 ; 1G2.)
By a deed proved in Court April 13, 1725, "in consider-
ation of parental love," -etc., he conveyed lands to his two
dau-htcrs, Hannah and Mary Hammond, minors, of Ipswich;
" my daughter, Hannah, must pay to my dauirhter, Sarah
Lambert, ^iO, and my daughter, Marv, shall pav to my
daughur, Elizabeth Jewett, oeiO." (Essei Registry 45 ; 29.)
His daughter, Hannali, afterwards married Lieut. Nath-
aniel Bradstreet, and the lands then deeded to htr have since

WATERTOWN, MASS. 75
remained in possession of her descendants and are now owned
(1897) and occupied by John Francis Bradstreet, who has in
his possession the original deed given by Thomas Hammond
in 1724. This deed is a finely executed document, written in
a bold old English hand, and has a fine signature showing
him to have been a good penman at that advanced age, a
characteristic of tlie family for many generations.
Thomas Hammond was selectman in Watcrtown in 1694
and 1G96. He was witness of the will of John Bond in
Watertown, Feb. 2(3, 1690.
He was executor of the will of his kinsman, Timothy
Hawkins, in Watertown, in 1697.

(III) John Hammond, Jr., (Lieut. John^) b. Watertown,
Mass., about 1662.
Very little can be learned about bim. He was living in
Watertown at tbe time of his father's death, in 1709, and
referencevS to him are found in the town records for a few years
afterward. John Hammond, Jr., and Thomas Hammond, of
Watertown, signed a petition for a charter for the town of
Gray, Me., May 28, 1735. He m.^.y have settled in Maine.
A John "Hamen" (III) is found in '"Gen. and Estates,
Charlestown," who had a wife living at Arundel, Me. He
was a soldier in the French vrar and married another wife
while stationed at Cape Breton, N. S., whom he deserted.
There is much about the affair in " Domestic Relations,"
in Mass. Archives, but nothing is found to connect him with
John Hammond, Jr., of Watertown. It seems probable that
John, Jr., either did not marry or that he removed to Maine
and was an early settler in the town of Gray.

"In Xeponset, Sept. 2, Dea. William Hammond, 67. Dea. H. vas ,
born in "Walthiuu. In his youth he remove<l to Boston whore he attended i
the ministry of Ile\. Dr. Sharpe. It -^-as there that he was aroused to a
sense of his condition as a sinner, and by grace enal)led him to receive the
Saviour as his own. Soon after this he came to Dorchester and united with .
the Secon.l Congregational Church, (Dr. Codman's.) Sometime after the :
organization of the Baptist Church in ^^eponset Village, he united with it, s
having Wfit baptized by Rev. Bradley Miner, who was then pastor. He ha.s -■
ever since l)een a most faithful and consistant member of the church, :
possessing the esteem and contidence not only of christians, but of all with
whom he associated, or with whom he had dealings. He was a man of
eminent prudence and integrity, true humility, and sincerity, seeming to be
just what he was and being just what he seemed to be, 'a good man and
just.' For several years he ha.« served the church faithfully in the otnce of
Deacon. He leaves a companion, three children, one grand'.'hild and an
aged mother. His family, the chunh and the conunnnity in which he
lived, have sustained a loss which will long be felt and mourned."
He was a carriage maker and painter. His remains
were placed in the Abraham Howe tomb.

Wiien a young man he learned the carriage and harness
makers trade, which were as one in those days. About 1817
he moved to Dorchester, Mass., wherein that part of the town
known as Neponset, he established a carriage and harness
manufactory in company with his brother, William, and
continued at this location for about 30 years. Among his
many patrons and friends was Daniel Webster, who made
frequent stops while driving from Boston to his home in
Marshlield. Oct. 11, 1820, he was married to Mary Ann
Clapp, of Dorchester, who was a descendant of Capt. Roger,
and also of Nicholas Clapp, the early settlers of Dorchester!
On the same day her sister, Hannah, was married to John
Tolman, the double wedding being quite an event in
Dorchester, all the parties being well known and popular.
After residing in Dorchester about 30 years they removed
to Woburn, following their eldest son, Joseph, who had
located there. They located on Auburn St., where they spent
the remainder of their days.
Jonathan Hammond was a man who commanded
universal respect ; a typical gentleman of the old school ;
moderate in his movements, of exemplary habits ; honest,
straight-forward, consciencious, careful of his language,
temperate in all things. He died at the ripe old age of 8S
years and 7 months, leaving a stainless and honorable name.
The following account of the celebration of the goiden
wedding of this worthy couple is copied from the " Middlesex
County Journal," (Woburn) issue of Oct. 15, 1870:
GOLDEN WEDDING.
"A veryinteres^ting occurrence transpired on Tuesday evening last
at the residence of Mr. Jonathan Hammond. This being the fiftieth
anniversary of the wedding of ^Ir. Hammond and wife, their friends to the
number of thirty a^embled to celebrate the goMen weddin- of the venerable
pair. They were married at Dorchester, by the late Rev. .John Codmaji,
D. D., and araojig the saests were several from Dorchester, where :^Ir!
Hammon.I's family reside<l. Among these was Mr«. Tolman, a sister of
Mrs. Hammond's, who was married the same evening. Remarks wer^
made by Kev. .T. H. IMeans and Rev. .Mr. Clapp, of Dorchester, and praver
offered by Rev. S. R. Denneii, of Woburn. .Mr. Hammond resj^onded very

hapi)ily to the adlress of his friends. Some heautiful and valuable presents
were donated. On the occasion of the wedding, which was a double one,
Rev. Dr. Codman composed a hymn which was sung to the tune of
" Ganges," an air familiar in those days. Last Tuesday evening, it was sung
again. The verses we give below :
"Composed at the wedding of Mr. John Tolman to Miss Hannah
Clapp, and Mr. Jonatlian Hammond to :Mis9 :Mary Ann Clapp,
by their friend and pastor, John Codman. ;
Great source of being, mighty God, I
Look down from Heaven thy high abode, j
And graciously bestow, .'
Thy blessings on th' united pair.
Who now have both engaged to share ,, i
Each others lot l)elow. V
For them thy throne we would address, |

And when they've served him here below !

In his younger days he was in j)Oor health and after a
venture in the dry-goods business he sailed for France for the
benefit of his health. While in that country he made his
home in the family of a vineyard owner, and upon his return
a vessel was fitted out with a cargo of wines. Upon his
arrival at Boston he disposed of the cargo at so great
advantage that subsequent shipments followed.
He became a great traveler for those days, visiting various
parts of Europe and making many voyages. After 1852 he
made his home in Bermuda during the winter mouths,
returning to Boston and Neponset each spring.

Dec. 17, 1889 :
" The late Horatio Hammond, of Boston, U. S. — With much regret
v.e have to record the death of the above named gentleman, who died at the
Globe Hotel, St. George's, on Friday morning, the loth instant, at the
advanced age of 91 years and 2 months. For many years Mr. Hanmiond

than that of other lani Is to which he had frequently resorted in search of
health. His first \-isit here was in lSo2, and he was tl irefore well known
by the whole community. Possessing a character remaikable for i-etinement
and url>anity sei'ured for him many warndy attached friends. Throughout

date. When he was seventeen years of age his father gave
him his time and such was his thrift that at the age of twenty
he had saved enough to justify him in taking a wife and
seeking his fortune in what was then the wilds of western
New York. In 1831, he with his parents removed to
Caneadea, Allegany Co., N. Y. la March, 1832, both

was stricken with pnralysis in 1883, when he made his home
with his chil(h-en until the time of his death. He was a
sincere christian, a strong advocate of the temperance cause.
At the age of nineteen he, with a few other young men,
formed the first temperance society in the locality. In poli-
tics he was an old line whig, going from that party over
the Free Soil bridge into Republicanism. An ardant poli-
tician, a strong party man, he was in politics as in every
other relation of life, an incorruptably honest. God-fearing
man. In 1849, he took a contract for the construction of
four miles of the Genesee Valley Canal, which he completed
in the following year. In 1851 he was appointed Superinten-
dent of the canal, which office he held for three years, dis-
charging the duties thereof in a thoroughly honorable
manner.
During the civil war he took an active part in sending
men to the front, and one son gave his life at ^lalveru Hill.
He was elected Supervisor of his town many times, was
Member of Assembly in 1858. and delegate to the State Con-
stitutional Convention in 1867. In 1868 he was nominated
by the Republican State Convention for the office of Canal
Commissioner, but with the balance of the ticket was defeated
in the election. lie died at the residence of his youngest
son, Charles H. Hammond, in Friendship, N. Y., at the ripe
age of seventy-six.

WATERTOWN, MASS. 127
Mass., Jan. 13, 1S29, dau. of Augustus Putnam and Eliza W.
(Upton) Smith, of Salem, Mass.
He attended the public schools in Dorchester and later
graduated from the New Ipswich, N, H., Academy. After
graduation he taught penmanship in the Academy ; also at
Salem and Lynn, until poor health required a change ot
occupation. In 1850 he was advised by his Lynn physician
to remove from the coast, which he did, locating at Woburn,
where he continued to reside until his death. In 1851 he
started in the clothing business in an old building which
stood where the First National Bank building now stands.
In 1856, upon completion of the Lyceum Building, he moved
into the store now occupied by his son and continued in the
business thei'e until a few years prior to his death when he
retired from active business, being succeeded by his son, who
had been for some years a partner under the firm name of
Hammond t\: Son.
Mr. Hammond, while living in his native town, was a
member of the militia. He was Lieutenant of tlie Company.
In 1852-3 he was clerk of the school district in Woburn, and
in 1857 he was treasurer of the relief fund. He was one of
the organizers of the Co-operative Bank of which he was Vice
President, and also one of the investment committee.
In the early days of the Republican party he was
treasurer of its town committee. A member of the First
Unitarian Parish he was an active worker, and treasurer for
fifteen years. He was a life member of the x\merican
Unitarian Association. He was for many years president of
the Woburn Lyceum Hall Association. When the war broke
out in 18(il his health precluded him from enlisting but his
patriotism and loyalty found expression in untiring effort in
behalf of the families of the soldiers, many of whom he
assisted. Mr. Hammond, at tlie time of his death, enjoyed
•the distinction of being the oldest business man in \Voburn in
length of continuous service, and as a mark of respect nearly
every business house in the city was closed during the hours
of his funeral, wdiich occurred from his late residence on

DAVID HAMMOND,
OF WATEETOWN, MASS.
(IV) David HA>BfOXD, (Thomas^) b. Watertowu, Mass.,
Nov. 23, 1690 ; d. Rowley, Mass., Sept. 22, 1765 ; m. (1),
July 11, 1719, Mary Platts, b. Rowley, Mass., June 29, 1684,
dau. of Samuel and Philippa (Felt) Platts, of Rowley, Mass.
She d. March, 1747, and he m. (2), Aug. 6, 1748, Elizabeth
Platts, b. Feb. 8, 1699, dau. of Moses and Hannah (Platts)
Platts, by whom he had no children. David was a farmer
living near the boundry line between Ipswich and Rowley
and there was a continual controversy between the towns of
Rowley and Ipswich as to which town the farm belonged in.
This controversy was not finally settled until some years after
his death, when on May o, 1784, this farm then occupied by
his son, David, was "sett off" to Rowley. On this account
the children of this family were some of them recorded in
both towns, while some appear only on the church records of
Rowley, where David belonged. It is possible that he had
other children of whom no record is now to be found. His
son, Jonathan, probably never married as no record of his
marriage or family can be found.

Kicliard Dole, who came from Bristol, England, in 1639,
WATERTOWN, MASS. 143
and married Hannah Rolfe, dau. of Wid. Honour Rolfe, of
Rowley. Her grandfather was Dr. John Dole, of Rowley,
b. Feb. 10, 1760, who was a Revolutionary soldier in Capt.
Stephen Kent's Co. from Nov. 1, to Dec. 9, 1775. Nathan
Dole and wife Phebe were admitted to Rowley chureli
March 14, 1756. Thomas Hammond and his brother, .John,
settled in Newburyport, Mass., where his son, Jonathan, was
born in 1774, but he evidently returned to Rowley soon after-
wards, as the births of Esther and John are found on Rowley
town records. He enlisted first in Capt. Moses Nowell's Co.
which marched from Newburyport, on Lexington Alarm,
April 19, 1775. (See Putnam's Magazine, Vol. 8, n. 12.)
He had evidently settled in Dunbarton, N. H., before April
27, 1777, when he enlisted as a private in Capt. Amos
Morrill's Co., Col. .John Stark's Regiment in which he saw
most of his Revolutionary service. (See N. H. State Papers,
Vol. 14, p. 603.)
After his service on the I^exington Alarm, he re-enlisted
Aug. 1, 1775, in Capt. Ezra Jaunt's Co., Col. Moses Little's
(17th) Regiment, in v/hich he saw some active service. (See
Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in War of Revolution.) He is
said to have been with Col. Stark at the battle of Bennington.
He was an ingenious pump maker, and laid the first acque-
ducts in the town of Dunbarton, some of which were in use
fifty years after ho laid them. (Hist, of Dunbarton, by
Caleb Stark, Pub. 1S60.) His descendants are still quite
immerous in Dunbarton, N. XL, and are among the most
prominent people of the town.

marriage, which appears on the town records of Rowley and
also in Book A of the town records of Salem, N. H. Many
of the early records of Salem, N. H., were destroyed or muti-
lated. A former town clerk, ^h. James Ayer, who now (1897),
resides at Salem Depot, while holding the office arranged and
copied all of the fragments of early records he could find and
now has in his possession a volume ]^IS. labeled "Scraps of
Record" from which he sends me the following : " Nov. 22,
1777. A warrant delivered to Henry Sanders, constable, to
warn out of this town David Hammond, who came from the
town of Ipswich, in the . County of Essex, in the State of
Massachusetts Bay. sometime in the last of April or the first
of May." Mr. Ayer adds in a note ''There is no disgrace
attaching to this action as it was the custom for years to thus
warn oil who canie into town, so if they should ever become
a public charge the expense would be on the County and not
on the town. In this way many of the best citizens were

Bridge\vater, N. H., Oct. 16, 1815 ; d. Nashua, N. H., June 7,
1887; m. Dec. 23, 1841, Sarah xVnn Adams, b. Walthani,
Mass., Dec. 12, 1816; d. Nashua, N. H., Jan. 15, 1898, dau.
of Phinehas and Sarah W. (Barber) Adaius. Doctor Ham-
mond was a self made man, whose useful career emphasizes
the possible attainment of those who possess courage and per-
severance. He obtained all the knowledge possible in the
district schools of his native place, and beyond that fought his
way single-handed to graduation in the profession he had
chosen for hi? life work. In his youth he had his every day
task for a higher education, and finally studied medicine and
surgery at New York, Boston, Dartmouth Medical college and
Harvard Medical college, graduating at the latter m 1840
with the degree of M. D. He settled in Nashua immediately
and steadily })racticed his profession for more that forty years.
Doctor Hammond, in his thorough knowledge of medicine
and surgery, had practical and common sense method as well
as a skillful and collegiate basis. He could read human
nature " like a book " and was therefore enabled to prescribe
effectively in all forms of disease and to all classes of patients.
That he had the confidence of the people was recognized in a
marked degree by the attorneys of the county, who sought him
among the first as an expert witness in diflicult cases, know-
ing that what Doctor Hammond said would be believed in
preference to the testimony of college professors who had
abundant theory and but limited practice. This was due,
also, in a great measure, to the use of easy terms and a lucid
explanation that was peculiarly his own method. He sought
to make clear rather than make a mystery. He had an ex-
tensive antl successful practice from which he retired some

years before his death, mainly because of advancing age and
a fracture of the bones of his leg which made it difficult for
him to travel any great distance. Yet such was his reputa-
tion that, for several years after his retirement, his services
were in frequent demand, especially among families within
whose circles he had for many years been the trusted physi-
cian and faithful friend. He was an active member of the
Xew Hampshire Medical Society. But Doctor Hannnond was
not alone a Nashua physician. He was an active man in the
affairs of the town and later of the city. Good government,
good schools, church privileges, progress in every department
of human endeavor, banking and a Imndied and one things
that were of concern to a citizen claimed his attention and
found him a wise supporter. He held town offices from time
to time and represented it in the legislature in 1847 and 1848.
When Nashua became a city in 1853 he f^al in her first com-
mon council, and in 1SG6 and 1867 served on the board of
aldermen. He was city physician in 1862, ] 866 and 1867, and
for ma)iy years was a member of the board of education.
During Governor Berry's administration, in the exciting days
of the civil war, he was commissioned examining surgeon for
exemption from draft for Hillsborough county, and was later
appointed United States examining surgeon in cases of appli-
cation for pensions, a position which he held fifteen years to
the entire satisfaction of the government and the veterans.
Besides these public duties he was one of the inceptors and
promoters of the Second National bank, serving on the board
of directors for many years. He was also treasurer of the
Mechanics Savings bank and so great was the confidence oi
the people in him, he invested safely, large sums of money for
friends and acquaintances. At the time of his death he was
president of the York Boach ct Harbor railroad and of tlie
Crosby Invalid Bed company. Doctor Hammond v.-as united
in marriage Dec. 23, 1841, with Sarah Ann Adams. Mrs-
Hammond was born in AValtham, Mass., Dec. 12, 1816, (died
Jan. 15, 1898, since the above was written.) She was a
daughter of Phinehas Adams, bom Sept, 14, 1789, and Sarah

uated in 18.^0 with the dcL^ree of M. I). Dr. Ilanimoiia
suceoeded his father, letainiiiL;' otiice and patients. The public
quickly discovered that he was a worihy successor of a physi-
cian and surgeon who had their confidence for more' tlian four
decades and the result is shown in the fact that his practice
rapidly increased, until to-day there is not a busier man in
his profession in the State or one who is more souglit after as
an expert witness before the courts, or for consultation in
critical cases of both medicine and surgery.
Doctor Hammond, following in the footsteps of an
honored sire, is an active man outside of his profession. He
finds time to serve the public in many ways. He is a member
of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association, a member and
censor of the New Hampshire^redical Society, was secretary of
the United States Board of Pension Examiners at Xasliua from
1889 till 1893, and from 1897 to 1901 and a member of the
Nashua Medical Association.
Dr. Hammond took an active and ellective part, giving
time, money and surgical instruments, in estai^lishing the city
emergency hos[)ital; is a member of its executive conmiittee
and of its medical staff. [le lias served Hill.-borough county
four years as county physician, and Nashua as city physician
and chairman of the board of health in 1894, doing the most
effective work in its history in stamping out contagions dis-
eases, and making a record as a conspicuous and ctiicient
public oificial that was recognized by the city council by
re-electing him to l)oth positions for the year 1895.
Dr. Hammond was elected a member of the Board of
Education in 1H92 for a term ending in 1898, and is counted
as one of the best informed and most enthusiastic educators in
southern New Hampslure. He is in fact an enthusiast in
school matuts, and gives considerable of his time and atten-
tion to the study of the ditl'eretit methods of instruction in
countries where the free school system prevails. He is quick
to ]>crceive and appreciate any improvement upon our own,
and zealous in urging its ado}>tion.

the pupil.« is exhibited not less intensely in his efforts to aid
in providing substantial and well appointed school houses.
He was chairman of the subcommittee of the school board
employed in the building of one of Nashua's most modern and
approved school houses, and has been, chairman of the text
book committee for the last six years.
He is a member of Rising Sun Lodge, A. F. and A. M.;
Meridan Royal Arch Chapter, St. George Commandery, K. T.,
and a Scottish Rite ^hison of the 32d degree. Doctor Ham-
mond attends the Pilgrim Congregational Church.

NATHANIEL HAMMOND,
OF SWANZEY, N. H.
(IV) Capt. Nathaniel Hammond, (Thomas') b. May 29,
1691 ; (bapt. with his brother Jonathan, in Watertown, Mass.,
July 25, 1697;) d. Swanzey, N. H., Feb. 2, 1756; m. 1st in
Eowley, Mass., (Pub. Jan. 30, i713-'14,) Bridget Harris, dau.
of Dea. Timothy and Pliebe (Pearson) Harris, b. Dec. 17, 1692 ;
d. 1731 ; m. 2({ March 8, 1732, Mrs. Abigail (Ilildreth) Cham-
berlain, widow of Thomas Chamberlain, of Littleton, and dau.
of Joseph and Abigail Hildreth; b. Chelmsford, Mass., Oct.
20, 1691 ; d. Swanzey, N. IL, Aug. 20, 1745. Two of her
sons, John and Simeon Chamberlain, were living in Swanzey
in 1742-3. (See Middlesex Deeds, Lib. 44, fol. 108.) She also
had an older son, Tl)omas Chamberlain, who inherited the
homestead at Littleton. M. 3d in Hardwick, Mass., Aug. 6,
1746, Mrs. Martha (Allis) Wells, b. in Hatfield, Mass., Nov. 19,
1703, dau. of Ichabod Allis, of Hatfield, and widow of John
Wells, of Hardwick. She survived him and m. 3d July 19,
1758, Nathaniel Kellogg, of Had ley, Mass. She brought up
her son Timothy Hammond in Hadley and he probably never
had a permanent residence in .Swanzey, although he was a
large land owner there. The records of Hardv,'ick show that
Capt. Nathaniel Hammond formerly resided at Lower

230 WILLIAM HA^DIOND
Asliuclot, now Swanzey, N. li., and that the people were
driven out by the Indians in 1747, as is stated in the Swanzey
history. He evidently returned to Swanzey before 1753 as
in that year he signed a petition to the legislature of trhe state
in which he says that he has been improving the land in
Swanzey "for the past 18 years."
Capt. Hammond lived in Ipswich, Mass., until 1724.
Oct. 10, 1722, he sold to Jonatiian Clark, of Rowley, a meadow
in Rowley, called "Sachwell's meadow," for which he received
the sum of £8. Bridget, his wife, gave up her right of dower
in the same (Essex Deeds 42; 215) Nov. 12, 1722, in consider-
ation of the sum of £1050, he conveyed "to my father,
Timothy Harris, of Rowley," certain parcels of land in
Ipswich, a portion of which was his part in the division with
his brother David, and a part was laud which his father
bought of .Jeremiah Nelson. His wife Bridget surrendered
her right of Dower (Essex Deeds, 43 ; GO). Soon after this
date he removed with his family to Littleton, Mass., where he
continued to hold residence until 1730 or after. There is
some uncertainty about his place of residence from this time
until 1736, when he erected the first house in Lower Ashuelot,
(now Swanzey) N. H. He held nominal residence in Littleton,
however, as the records of the First Congregational church, of
Littleton contain the following notice of the dismissal of Capt,
Nathaniel and his son Jonathan "August. 1739 ; Capt. Ham-
mond and his son Jonathan were dismissed to tlie church in
Ashuelot." The proprietors records of Lower Ashuelot or
Swanzey commence June 27, 1734, at Concord, Mass. " At a
meeting of the proprietors of the Lower Township on the
Ashuelot river held at the house of Ephraim Jones, innholder,
in Concord, Mr. Nathaniel Hamniond, of Littleton, was
chosen moderator ; Ephraim Jones, of Concord, chosen clerk
and sworn." " Voted : that John Flint, Esq., of Concord, Mr.
Joseph Hill, of Billerica, Mr. Eleazer Robbins, of Harvard,
and Mr. Nathaniel Hammond, of Littleton, be a committee to
manage the prudential affairs of said tov/nship."

WATERTOWN, :MASS. 231
ConcorJ, Oct. 10, 1734, lie M'as appointed on a committee "to
lay out the interval land in the township into sixty-three
equal lots." Each of these lots was numbered and the pr(^
prietors drew " lots" for their numbers. Nathaniel drew lot
No. 18, for his son-in-law, (step-son) John Chamberlain ; No.
27 for himself and No. 35 for his son, Jonathan.
" At a proprietors meeting held at the house of Capt.
Nathaniel Hammond, in Lower Ashuelot, (Swanzey) Oct. 26,
1737, it was voted tliat Capt. Nathaniel Hammond, Benjamin
Heywood, Charles Lumis, Samuel Plills and Thomas Cresson
be a committee to lay out the fifth division of lots." This is
the first house of which mention can be found in Swanzey.
It stood where the house of ]\Irs. Woodcock now stands in
Swaazey Center. " At a meeting held Dec. 28, 1738," the
proprietors " Voted: to buy 18 lbs. of powder and 36 lbs. of
lead, for a proprietors stock, which shall be left in the hands
of Capt. Nathaniel Hammond."
At a meeting held Dec. 22, 1740, " Nathaniel Hammond,
Abraham Graves and Jolni Evans were chosen a committee
to finish the fort which has been begun around Capt. Nath-
aniel Hammond's house." The Nathaniel first mentioned
undoubtedly being his son, Nathaniel, Jr. His son, Jona-
than, came to Swanzey with his father in 1735 or 36. The
other sons followed at intervals of a few months or years,
Thomas probably coming there about the time of his mari'iage.
There is no record of his j'oungest daughter, Bridget, ever
having been a resident in Swanzey, although two of her sons
settled there and another owned land there. .John is not
mentioned in the " History of Swanzey " at all. Probably he
never had a permanent residence there. Capt. Nathaniel
became a large land owner, he and his sons owning at one
time about three thousand acres of land in Swanzey, besides
considerable tracts in other towns in N. H. and Vt.
In 1747 the inhabitants were all driven from their homes
by Indians. Tliey sunk their iron utensils in their wells or
buried them and fled to Mass. for safety. The town was?
burned bv the foe and rnanv of the former inhabitants, having
iniflhVl i»

become discouraged by the frequent depredations of the
savages, never returned. Tlie Hammonds, however, soon
returned with the exception of tlie two younger children,
Oliver and Bridget, who sought a home witli their uncle,
David, and other kinsmen in Ipswich, where they remained.
^'athaniel (who is always mention as ''Capt." Nathaniel in
the records of the p.eriod.) was a man of indomitable will and
a natural born leader in every enterprise. He was essentially
a pioneer and was one of ths most prominent men in the
affairs of the early settlers. He was well educated for the
time and an excellent penman, as is shown by records now
extant. He was generally clerk of the proprietors meetings
and served on nearly every committee chosen by the early
settlers. (See "Hist, of Swanzey,'' by Col. Benjamin Read.
"History of Gilsum," by Rev. Sylvanus Hay ward, and N. H.
Town Papers, State Paper series, Vol. 13.)

acconiing to ibe best of their judgment and return the same with the within
"Warr't unto the Registry of the Onirt of Probate.
Attest : JasiAH Wili.aku, Jus. Peace.
The estate seems to have been amicably settled by the
administrator who sold lands to several of the heirs, probably
to raise funds to pay otr other heirs, and no final accounting
or other papers of the settlement are to be found on record.
No mention can be found of any of the daughters in the settle-
ment of the estate and it is probable that they received cash
in full of their claims against their father's estate.

N. H., in 1737 and had land granted him there. He also had
land granted him in the to^vns of Errol and Claremont, N. H.,
and in several towns in Eastern Vermont. He took a very
prominent yavt in the affairs of Swanzey and was a very
prominent and influential man there as long as he lived.
He was a soldier in the Indian wars, was corporal in Capt.
Josiah Willard's Co. from June 25, 1749, to Oct. 16, 1749.
(^lass. Arch. ^^lusier Rolls Vol. 93, p. 34.) He kept the first
public house in Swanzey on the Boston road.
He was town treasurer in 1708, '69, '70, '73 and '74,
and moderator in 1768, '69, '70, '72 and '73. Being too old
to serve in the war of the Pvcvolution he hired a substitute for
three years, whom he paid the sum of £78 for his service.
(S('e Hist. Swanzey, p. 124.) He was a deacon of the Congre-
gational Church in Swanzey for some years prior to his death.
His gravestone in the old burial ground at Swanzey Centre
bears the inscription, "Deacon Jonathan Hammond, died
Sept. 16, 1777, in his 63d year."

He was also Captain of the 10th Co. in Col. Samuel Willard's
4th ]Mass. Regt. under Gen. Sir Wni. Peppcrell in the Louis-
burgh expedition in 1745.^ He seems to have settled in
Palmer, Mass., about 1728 or '29, and built the first grist mill
where Ware village now stands. He bought v;hat was known
as the Hollingworth grant of 500 acres for £400, and was a
man of large means. Tradition represents him to have been
a man of great shrewdness and energy, a mighty hunter, and
that Indian blood ran in his veins. Appearances seem to
indicate that he was a descendant of James Olmsted, who
came in the " Lyon," Sept. 16, 1632. Capt. Olmsted married
about 1710-'ll, Thankful, dau. of Thomas Barnes, and had
eleven children, of whom Martha was the fifth. After her

He was selectman in 176G, '78, '80, and a member of the ';
"Committee of Safety" in 1775. He was too aged and infirm *
to enter the army himself, but he hired two substitutes — ;
Josei)h Hammond, Jr., for two and one-half mouths and ',
Daniel Day for two months, and also sent his son. Lieut, \
Isaac Hammond. He was chosen deacon of the Congrega- t
tional Church in 1777. He was a prosperous farmer and a ;
large land owner. He seems to have held the land originally ^
granted to him and that deeded to him by his fatlier until his j
death. In 1773 he was administrator of the estate of his son, j
Dr. Nathaniel Hammond, who had lived near him. >s^o
record of his death has been found as his family Bible was ;
carried away to Canada by his son, Lieut. Isaac, and is proba- ^
bly lost. Isaac seems to have become hopelessly involved i
before the final settlement of the estate and to have sold {
everything belonging to him and removed to Cana'la. '

Hampshire, grant in 1753, and was a large land owner as

and Josiah Prime. lie ^vas soon after appointed recruiting
officer, and was at home raising men for the Continental army
when the battle of Bunker Hill was fought. "When he
heard that the battle had been fought he prepared to start the
following morning for the field of conflict." He rode through,
a distance of ninety miles the next day. This ride has been
immortalized by a Swanzey poet in a rather lengthy poem,
entitled '-Col. Hammond's Ride," which is given on pages
106, 107, 108 and 109 of Col. Benjamin Read's History of
Swanzey. The poem is believed to have been written by Hon.
Elijah Sawyer, for many years a justice of the peace and clerk
of the Cheshire County Court. As recruiting otiicer he must-
ered a company of men Sept. 22, 1776, which contained his
two sons, Joseph Hammond, Jr., and Benjamin Hammond.
This company took part in the battle of White Plains. In
June 1777, he was Lieut. Colonel in Col. Samuel Ashley's Gth
New Hampshire Regt., which marched to the relief of Ft.
Ticonderoga. Feb. 17, 1778, he signed a "Return" of men
enlisted for two years as Lieut. Colonel of the regiment. He
resigned and retired from active military duty in 1779. The
following is a copy of his letter of resignation and its accept-
ance :
"Swanzey, June 14, 1779.

(A sketch of the life of Col. Jo.seph Hammond appeared
in the "New Hampshire Sentinel" published at Keene, N. H.,
many years ago, which was written while people were still
living who had known him personally. The author once had
a copy but has been unable to find it or it would be repro-
duced.)
May 19, 1769, Joseph Hammond deeded lands in
Swanzey to his younger brother, Timothy Hammond. (Cheshire
Reg. Deeds, Lib. 3, Fol. 18.)
Dec. 29, 1774, Joseph Hammond sold to William Carr,
75 acres of land in Swanzey. (Cheshire Reg. Deeds, Lib. 1,
Fol. 172.)
May 4, 1776, Joseph Hammond sold to his son, Benjamin
Hammond, 250 acres of land in Swanzey, for £100. (Cheshire
Reg. Deeds, Lib. 2, Fol. 491.)
On the same date he sold to his son, Joseph Hammond,
Jr., 207 acres in Swanzey, for .£125. (Cheshire Reg. Deeds,
Lib. 2, Fol. 290.)
Aug. 5, 1772, he sold to Samuel Chapman, lands in
Swanzey. (Cheshire Reg. Deeds, Lib. 4, Fol. 376.)
May 29, 1772, he sold to Joseph Cummings land in
Swanzey, for £24. (Cheshire Reg, Deeds, Lib. 4, Fol. 477.)
He also signed deeds of several large tracts of land in
Swanzey as administrator of his father's estate, which appears
to have been unsettled for many years.
(He was Muster-master and Paymaster of the Province of
New Hampshire in 1776 and 1777. N. H. State Papers,

owner of land there, but he and his younger sister, Bridget,
seem to have spent much of their time during their minority
with their uncle, David Hammond, and their mother's
relatives in Rowley. This was probably due to their having
had a step-mother. Oliver was a private in Capt. John
Northend's Co., May 16, 1757. Length of service not given.

ward, b. 1743: d. in Gilsum, N. H., Dec. 6, 1812. Her
parentage has not been ar^certained, but it seems very probable
that she was of the family of Woodwards which came from
Sutton, Mass., and settled in Marlboro, ^^ H., some years prior
to his marriage. Little has been learned of this family in
Sutton and it^is probable that they had not long resided there
when they removed to New Hampshire. There seems to be
little, if any doubt of her decent from (Jeorge and Elizabeth
(Hammond) Woodward, the early settlers of Watertown. Mass.
This would include her decendants in the line of Thomas
Hammond, of Newton, as well as in the line of William of
Watertown. It is probable that her father was Jonas Wood-
ward, b. Feb. 8, 1712, in Newton, Mass.; m. 1734, Mary Cook,
of Needham. Mass. This family left Newton and presumably
removed to Sutton. This Jonas had a son Jonas born in
Newton who was probably the Jonas Woodward that settled
hiter in Marlboro, N. H. It is known that she had a sister,
Rebecca Woodward, who became the 2d wifeof Elijah Osgood,
of Swanzey. N. H., and the step-mother of Lucy Osgood, v/ife
of Aaron Ilammonrl. Jr. If these premises are corrt^ct she was
left an orphan some years before her marriage which accounts
for the dithculty in tracing her ancestry. Jonas ^^'oo<iward
died in 1764. He was a son of Daniel, grandson of John and
o-reat grandson of George Woodward mentioned above. ,..

Aaron purchased from Jonathan Hammond a fifty-acre
lot in "South Division" of Swanzey "numbered thirty-three"
"for the consideration of. the sum of Thirty Pounds Lawful
Money." The deed, dated April G, 1771, and witnessed by
Joseph Ellis and Nathaniel Hammond, is now in the posses-
sion of his great-gi-eat grandson, Frederick S. Hammond, of
Oneida. N. Y. In 1773 he purchased of Nathan Blake for

pence" another fifty acres described as "House Lot No. 11,
being tlie most Northerly Lot in tlie Range, Second Division
of Upland."
In 1782 he sold liis lands in Swanzey and purchased land
of Moses Belding in the part of Gilsum whicli has ever since
borne the name of " Hammond Hollow," and on which there
was a log house into which he moved his family. In 1785
lie built the frame house which is now the sugar house owned
by iSIrs. T. T, Clark. "He drew the boards from vSwanzey with
an ox team and spoilt and shaved his own shingles and cla[>
boards, some of which were sound and bright one hundred
years later. He took an active part in organizing the Congre-
gational Church in Gilsum and was one of tlie signers of the
charter. lie paid the sum of 'Six pounds, thirteen shillings
for pew No. 1,' at the first sale of pews. He was tithingman
from 1789 to 1793 ; school committee in 1790 ; moderator in
1791 and selectman four years. He was the progenitor of all
the Hammonds of Gilsum. * * This has always been one of
the leading fimilies of the place, and though mostly scattered
at present, those who have gone to other places have main-
tained the reputation of the family elsewhere." (Hist. Gilsum.
p. 209.) His v,-ife, Rachel (Woodward) Hammond was one of
the most respected and influential women of the town. The
following extract from the New Hampshire Sentinel, of Dec.
19, 1812, shows something of the esteem in which she was
held :
"Dioii, in Gil~um, on the 6th inst., IMrs. Rachel Hammond, wife of
;Mr. Aaron Haniinond ; a«jred 70 years. Her exemplary attachments, as a
wife, a mother, and a friend were never surpassed in those endearing
relations. >he ever perfonned every duty to the utmost extent of a
generous, disinterested affection. As a ilaughter of Zion she constantly
exhibited that meekness, charity and V>enev'^lence which are ever hij^hly
ornaaiental to the Chun-h of, Christ, of which she wa.s a respected member.
A firm and fervent piety characterized her uniform conduct from her early
youtli to her liL-t moments. She trusted for acceptance with GckI only
through the merits and sufferiajr of her a'lored Redeemer. She spent her
last expii-ins: breath in prayer ; and praisin-jr Uod. These excellent qualities
blessed the large circle of her intimate friends who, with her inconsolable
husbimd, will ever revere her memory a« they now deplore her loss. Her

from Job 19 : 21."
Their slaughter, Rachel, was born blind. "She was the
only child in (Ul^nm who was born blind. Her mother took
unwearied pains to instruct her so that she learned to knit
and sew. Hearing others read she would repeat the words
after them and called it reading. In this way she read the
Bible through more than once. But for her blindness she
would have been a woman of more than common activity and
influence." (See Hayward's Hist. Gilsum, p. 209.)

No account of his education has been found, but he was the
first regular [)hysician of whom there is any record in Swan-
zey. He owned and resided on what is now the W. C. Beld-
ing place, near Sv.-anzcy Centre. Little has been learned
about his wife's family or parentage, but it seems certain that
she was a sister of Rachel P'rankhn, who married his cousin,
Oliver Prime. Administration on his estate was granted to
his father, Thomas Hammond, who gave a bond in the sum
of i;200, Nov. IG, 1773. An inventorv of the estate was

(VI) Lieut. Isaac Hammond, (Thomas'') was b. in 1748,
probably in some town in Massachusetts, whither his parents
bad fled to escape the fury of the savages, who had overrun
all of Cheshire Co., N. IT., in the previous year. His parents
soon retunied to Swanzey, ho.vever, and he was brought up
there. He married in Sutton, Mass., Feb. 16, 1773, his cousni,
Mehitable Prime, b. ia Rowley, Mass., Ang. 29, 1755, dau. of
Joshua and Bridget (Hammond) Prime, who removed to Sut-
ton, Mass., about 1769. After his death in 1795, she m. 2d
in Cahlwell's Manor, Canada, Samuel Fyler, a tory refugee
from Long Island, by whom she had a son, Isaac Fyler. The
following letter written by his daughter, Mrs. Mehitable
(Hammond) Rice, to her nephew^ Capt. Russell Prime
Hammond, contains all that remained in that branch
of the family history and traditions, and while it contains
some inaccuracies it is given in full, as it contains the only
authentic account of the removal of this family to Canada.
(The original, now in possession of Capt. Hammond, has been
slightly defaced by mice and a few words are entirely eaten
away. These defects are marked with * *.)
St. Jonys, 20 Jamiar\', 186L
Dear Nephew: I remember you a«ktHl me some year? since for ini'orm-
ation on the subject of our ancesiors, and something at the time interveninir,
which cau-seda delay — and since I have not hail a convenient opportunity of
a pei>onal communication. I resolved to make no longer delay, and havincr
it in Avriting you can always refer to it, as our memories do not always serve
ns, and -we should not remain in ignorance of our progenitors. I now com-
merce by infonning you that both the Hammond and Prime families origin-
^'.I

WATERTOWN, MASS. 253
ally came from England, and emigrated to the United States o! America,
something like two centurys f-dnce. My memory only serves me to speak
confidently so far back as your great grandfather— yes, I can go one genera-
tion more remote on my father's side and say my great grandfather Ham-
mond, (his given name I do not remember,) but he and two of his brothers
made a purchase of the best part of the township of Swanzey, in Xew Ham-
shire, av here thev took up their residence, sometime about, (I think) the
midd'le of the last century, 1700. His son Thomas Hammond inherited his
estate in that place after his father, who died at the age of about 60, leaving
three sons and one daughter, and my father Isaac Hammond being one of
them, and who had ever lived with his father Thomas Hammond, became
his successor to the family estate by an arrangement with the other brothers.
But unfortunately for hirn and his family he subsequently became involved.
Naturally of a most kind and ol^liging .Iispositi.:.n, lie }eiMed to the persua-
sion and" became security for a friend in trouble to a large amount and to the
ruin of hi- earthly prospects. Being in consequence obliged to dispose of his
valuable property and the inheritance of his fore-fathers at a very great
gacrifiee, a misfortune deeply deplored by both my poor father and mother,
and which was the means of bringing them to Canada with their * * *
children where we all landed on the 9th of October (I think) in the year
1794, at Cal'hveils :\ranor. In the following summer my father went on
business to All)any, X. Y., where he caucht the smallpox, which was pre-
vailing at that time, and of which he died. I think the 24th of June, 1795,
with bright hope? of immortal glory, and in his 46th year. I will now give
you some outline of my nmther's, the Brime family, which lived in the town
of Rowley, Mass. Joshua Prime, your father's grandiatlier, after whom he
was called Joshua Prime Hammond. Our grandfather Prime succeeded to
his father's estate in Rowley, where he continued to reside until my mother
was of the atre of 15 years. He then with my grandmother, (who was also a
Hammond of the same family), and all of his family, three sons ami three
daughters, emigrated to Sutton, a distance of about 60 miles. I believe that
is also in the state of Massachusetts. They were successful agriculturi-ts.^
His three sons, brothers of my mother, subsequently removed to the Town of
Swanzey, New Hampshire ; all agriculturists— and there continued to live
during their hfetimes. Uncle Prime, of New York, l)eingthe younszest and
only one of that family, with the exception of my mother, that you can have
anv knowledge of, was born a few weeks after his father's decease. An-l so
one generation uAlows another down to that result of death for all the living.
It w ould be dreadful to think of, an.l very sa<l, had not Our Lord Christ
* * * tears before us and the sins of ^ * * might cause us to
tremble an-l dispair * * * t-he attoning efficacy of His precious blood.
I will say that your grandfather was born in 174S— your grandmother
in 1755. I remain ever your affectionate aunt, M. Rice.
His widow d. in Caldwell's )danor, Canada, April 5,
183S. • Isaac was very active in the Revoluiiunary war a?
were all of the Swanzey Hammond's, and was a Lieutenant
254 WILLIAM HAMMOND
in the local Militia. He enlisted first in Capt. Joseph Ham-
mond's Co., which marched to Cambridge, April 21, 1775,
two days after the battle of Bunker Hill. (Hist, of Swanzey,
pp. 103-4.) He next enlisted in Capt. Davis Hewlett's Co.
under Lieut. Col. Joseph Hammond, which marched to the
relief of Fort Ticonderoij^a in June, 1777. (N. H. State Papers,
vol. 13, p. 63.) He also marched with a Swanzey Co. to
Otter Creek, and probably did other milit.-ary duty of which
there is now no record extant. He was selectman from 1781
to 1788 and moderator in 1785. He was coroner of Cheshire
County in 1784 and deputy sheritf in 1790. He was the
owner of considerable land in Swanzey and also of a tract of
land in Gilsum, N. H. July 1, 1782, he sold a lot in Swan-
zey, originally laid out to his brother-in-law, Joseph Ellis, to
Daniel Newcomb, of Keene. (Cheshire Kegistry of Deeds,
lib. 10, fol. 422.) May 31, 1784. he gave a deed of lands in
Swanzey to the "heirs of Dea. Jonathan Hammond, namely:
Susanna, wife of Greenwood Carpenter, Mary Hammond, Abi-
gail Hammond, of Swanzey, and Mariam, wife of John Hast-
ings, of Charlestown, N. H." "It is to be remembered that
the reason for said Hammonds signing tlie above deed is that
it is presumed that Dea. Thomas Hammond, late of Swanzey,
deceased, was to have given deed in his lifetime of said prem-
ises, the other party or grantee engaging that said Isaac Ham-
mond shall not meet with any trouble or loss in consequence
of his signing the said deed." The deed is witnessed by
Joseph Hammond and Sarah Hammond. (Cheshire Regis-
try of Deeds, lib. 14, fol. 425.)

There are also many other land transactions showing him
to have been quite an active land speculator. The only
existing records of hina after his removal to Canada was a

deed of some land in Gilsum, N. H., and a pov/er of attorney
to his brother, Aaron Hammond, executed in I\Iontreal in
1794, and which are now in possession of the writer, who is
a great-great grandson of the said Aaron.
He was a hmJ surveyor.

Lunenburg, }»Iass., his cousin, b. May 21, 1756, dau. of Jona-
than and kSarah (Do'lge) Pierce. He was very active in the
War of the Revolution and saw more active service perhaps
than any other of the Swanzey Hammonds. He enlisted for
eight months in his father's company April 21, 1775, and
marched wiih the company to Cambridge where he remained
with the other eight months men when the balance of the
company returned home. He was there when the baitie of
Bunker Kill was fought and undoubtedly participated in the
battle. After the expiration of liis eight months' service he
re-enlisted for the winter and Sept. 22, 177<), he again enlisted
in the company mustered by his father on that date and went
with tiie regiment to White Plains.
He was corporal in Capt. Jonathan Whitcomb's Co., Col.
James Reeds Regt., while at Cambridge.
(>;. H. State Papers, Voi. 14, pp. 92, 202, 203.)
While in service in New York he was in Capt. John
Houghton's Co., Col. Baldwin's Regt.
(N. H. State Paper.?, Vol. 14, p. 428.)
Very little further is now known about him as the records
of Swanzey are very incomplete for many years after the close
of the revolution and his descendants iiave been all away from
the town for many years past.

remained \vith his mother's rohitives much of the time until
he arrived at manhood, when he took up his residence on the
fcirm since owneil by D. B. C. Hill in Swanzey, where he
lived until the time of his death. He was a quiet, reserved
man, and does not appear to have taken an active part in
politics or held office ; a consistent member of the Congrega-
tional Church but latterly an attendant at the Baptist Church,
of which his son, Joseph, was an active member. He enlisted
in Capt. John Houghton's Co., CoL Baldwin's Regt., mustered
by Col. Joseph Hammond, Sept. 22, 177G, and was with the

when he was but 20 years of age. He was a revolutionary
soldier in Capt. Stephen Perkins' company, which marched on
the Lexington Alarm April 19, 1775. (Massachusetts Soldiers

j Mr, Prime at once established himself in business in AVall
. street, New York City, where he acquired a large fortune and
; became a distinguished financier and one of the most promi-
^ nent men of the city. He was always highly respected by
; his former employer and his family, and they had many busi-
i ness transactions in later years. The decendants of Nathaniel
i Prime have always maintained the family prestige and are
I among the most highly respected residents of New York City.
Nathaniel Prime, always, during his life, kept up a cor-
; respondence with his Hammond relatives and evinced a
! friendly interest in their affairs, and many old letters bearing
j his signature are among the treasured papers of the descend-
j ants of his nephew Josiah Prime Hanmiond. A very neat
I and attractive genealogy of his descendants, in pamphlet form,
I printed for private circulation, was compiled a few years ago
' by Temple Prime, Esq., to whom the writer is indebted for
many of his recoid.^ of this family. Tlie double connection
; between this family and the Hammond family makes it of
' especial interest to the many decendants.

parents made large wedding preparations and the occasion
was one long remembered in Gilsum. It Is said to ha\e been
much the largest and most imposing wedding celelTation that
ever occurred in town. ^Martha was a model wife and mother
and was loved and respected by all who knew her. Dr. Hos-
mer's first wife was Ruth Upham, by whom he had two chil-
dren, both of whom married and lived in Gilsum. She died
in 1798. He came to Gilsum in 1793 and boarded at Dea-
Bond's, built a house the succeeding year and rem.oved his
family there in 1795. Here he continued to reside until his
death in 1826. As a physician he was very cautious, being
sure that he understood his case before resorting to any drastic
methods. After the death of his wife Martha he married for
his third wife wid. Mary (Webb) Hay ward, who survived him,

WATERTOWN, MASS. 269
THE GULL TRAP.
(^VRITTE^• EY JOHN HAMMOND.)
In one of Cheshire's goodly towns,
"Where ortho<loxy stiff aliouuds.
And folks have charity refined,
Not of that frood old-fashioned kind
Y\'hich should, in sooth, begin at home,
As strangely argufied by some.
Nigh to the sanctuary where
People of every sect repair
On days devoted to the Lord
To sing, give thanks, and hear the word,
A tavern stands, where travelei-s call
For '' straw and provender," and all
Eefreshments tending to revive
And keep themselves and beasts alive.
There, as I stopped not long ago,
Wheth-^r to take a glass or no "
Of whi>key, r>randy, ram or gin
It matters not, but soon I read
From faces long and what was said
That pious folks, in sooth, met there,
Who feigned a deal of Christian care
[Much to their credit be it known —
For heathen children not their own.
Good souls : and that the world might see
Their works of love and charity
Displaye<:l as public as they oould,
A box they made, M'hich yawning stood
AVithin the aforesaid tavern, wluther
These folks most often met together —
A "gull trap" called by some howe'er
Is-Q matter what the name, or where
It sto<jd. 'Twas ample to receive
"What thinire these people chose to give.
How many mittens, shirts, and socks ;
Coats, vestinss, pantaloons, and frocks;
Shoes, VK>ots, au'i other presents rare,
"With gowits for la.ly squaws to wear,
Were here deix^siteil 1 and some,
As poor as church mice, faith will come
With aprons stuffe^l with goodly things,
Pure mi-ssionary offering'^,
Ami safely lodge them in the box
Beciaiise the deed is orth<>doxJ
:<'ji'
270 \^^LLIA3I HA3IM0XD
And is it reader, thus decreed
That conntry folks must clothe and feed
Those savage children far away.
And tell their own go naked? Say ?
Say, where in the Scripture is't we find ^
Commands thns lavish to be kind
To foreign people, while our own
For bread ai-d clothing freeze and groan?
The book expressly says that one
"Who does not amply for his own
Provide is worse, oh sad to tell,
Is worse than w hat ? An Infidel.
Would it not l^etter be for some
To keep their charity at home?
Or use it oitener for the good
Of sufferei-s in theirneighborhood?
Nay, priestcraft sly has other ways
To show their hearere now-a-days
To se!^•e the Lord than doing good
To one another as they should —
" Stint youi"seli and cheat your neighber
To pay for priests' pernicious labor."
Notwithstanding his apparent lack of orthofloxy and
frequent sarcastic comments on the customs of tliose who
were more strictly orthodox in tlieir opinions, John Ham-
mond was very pojuilar with a large majority of the people.
He was honorable, upright and just in all his dealings, kind
hearted, generous and charitable to a fault, and while his wit
probably cut deeply into the vanity of some of the most rigidly

(VII) JosiAfl Hammond, (Aaron'"') b. Swanzey, N. H.,
March 28, 1775; d. Gilsum, N. H., Aug. 15, 1851; m. Nov.
28, 1799, Mehitable Bill, b. June 1, 1778, d. June 8, 1857,
dciu. of Ebenezer and Rachel (Root) Bill. Her parents were
both born in Hebron, Conn. Rachel Root was the dau. of
Ebenezer and Rachel (Skinner) Root, of Hebron, Conn., and
a descendant 'of Thomas Root, b. Badby, England, Jan. 16,
1605, who came to America in 1637. She was a great grand-
daughter of Sampson and Mary (Daniels) Frary who were in
the massacre at Deerfield, Mass., in King Philip's war. Josiah
bought the north part of his father's farm in Gilsum and
built a house on it which he occupied during the remainder
of his life. He and his sister Martha were married on the
same dav at their father's house, the affair being very elabor-
ate for the time and the number of guests large. He served
the town as moderator many years, was town agent in 1824,
town clerk fifteen years, selectman many years, tytliingman
and school connnitloe several years and was elected to the
New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1830. He suf-
fered from paralysis during the last few years of his life and
was unable to move about freely. During this time he read
much and wrote some, connnenting freely on all that he read.
He devoted considerable time to a careful reading of the
Bible. Considerable of his manuscript is still in existence
and in the possession of his great grandson. He was not
orthodox in his religious views and was a close friend of Ab-
ner Kneeland, whose religious opinions he shared. He was
not aggressive, having great respect for the rights and feelings
of others, and this probably saved him in a great measure
from the malice of tlie bigoted and narrow-minded. Before
the abolition of church rates in New England a widow with a
family of small children lived in Gilsum who could not raise
the money to pay her church rates. Her only cow, the chief
means of support for herself and family, was seiz. d and sold
to satisfy the claim. Josiah Hammond bid off the cow and
L .11 -;.l \y
272 WILLIAM nA:\niOND
told the widow to dri\e her home and keep her until he
called for her. He never called for the cow and the widow
continued in peaceable possession as she could not be seized
again on account of the ownership being vested in 'Squire
Hammond. He was a thrifty farmer and a progressive citi-
zen until bodily infirmities confined him to the house. Like
nearly every other member of tlie Gilsum branch of the
family, he was a very large, powerful man, v>-eighing over 200
pounds.
His wife, Mchitabel Bill, was a lineal descendant of John
and Anne (Mountford) Bill, of Much Wenlock, Shropshire,
England, v;hose only son, John, came to America as early as
1635 and settled at Ipswich, Mass., removing later to New
London, Conn. Pier fatlier, Ebenezer Bill, was born in
Hebron, Conn., Jan. 19, 1750-1, and after his marriage removed
to Gilsum, N. H. He was a Kcvolutionary soldier in Capt.
Elisha Mack's Co., Col. Ashley's Regt., (6th N. H.) and one of
the most prominent men in the early history of the town.
She was well educated for the time and a very intelligent
woman. Her sister, Rachel Bill, was a noted school teacher
and a frequent contributor of both prose and poetry to the
publications of the time.

served faithfully for seven years as is shown by the document
of which the following is a copy :

Among the letters still preserved are the following:
Montreal, 9th Octo^ 1800.
Deae Uncle :
I embrace the opportunity of Capt. Sanford's going to New York to
inform you that my mother and I are well; likewise to acknowledge the
receipt of your kind letter. With respect to further iufonnatlon, I refer you
to Capt. Sanford, w-ho will deliver you these line:-. I shall al-.vayb esteem it
a mark of vour favor every time 1 hear from you.
I remain, Dear rncie, Your affectionate Nephew and very humble
servant, Joshua P. IIahmond.
New Y'okk, 26 April, 1801.
Dear Joshua : I have been much gratified with a visit from Mr.
Sanford. He appears a gentleman of much good sense and worth. He
appears to take an interest in your happiness and welfare, and you may con-
sider yourself fortunate in ha\-ing your apprenticeship with so good a man.
By Mr. Sanford you will receive a watch, which you will please receive as a
mark of mv affectionate regard. May it prove a faithful monitor of passing
time, and never reproach you with an hour ill-spent, either to yourself, your
country or friends. It will ever give me pleasure to hear of your welfare,
and see you happy. Whenever you find it convenient to call on me, I shall
give vou a welcome reception. It is my intention to make your mother a
visit in the course of two or three years, in that case shall certainly go as far
as Montreal. Very affectionately yours,
Nath'l Prime.
After serving out his apprenticeship with Mr. Sanford, in
Montreal, Joshua went to Norwich, Conn., where he worked
at his trade of a hatter and met and married his wife. He
then removed to Gray, Me., where their firdt child was born
in 1805. He remained here but a short time when he went
to Massachusetts, where he remained several years, during
which time he served in the State militia. He returned to

he retired from active life and removed to Gilsum village,
where he spent the remainder of his days. In 1827 and after
he was a men^ber of a militia eompany in Gilsum. Was select-
man in 1856 and 1857. Was for many years an active
member of the Univer^alists Library society and a member of
the New Hampshire House of Representatives two years.
"Uncle John," as he was called by everybody, was widely
known and deservedly popular, a joker and story teller, witty
and quick at repartee. He was very fond of the children
and very popular with the young. The writer well remem-
bers him as he used to drive along with "Old Ned" and sto[.
and ask him to ride, when he was still but a little urchin and
hov/ he used to delight in going home with him and being
shown the many curiosities which he had and entertained
with his stories. In 1874 he celebrated his golden wedding
and his fellow citizens presented hdm with a beautiful and
expensive gold headed cane. His neighbors and townsmen
will long remember his kind, benevolent face and his cheery
voice and heartv laugh.

To him the author of this work owes the respect for, and
love of the family name, that has led him to persevere for
more than ten years in the collection of material for a family
memorial.
Doctor Hammond was one of the most prominent men of
his native town and no one has received more attention in
the " History ot Gilsum " than is given to his life. The fol-
lowing extract from that volume, page 182, gives a brief and
concise account of his life and the esteem in which he
was held : " George Washington Hammond was one of
Gilsum's most distinguished citizens. A long and dangerous
sickness from disease of the heart having rendered him in
early life, unable to endure the severe labor of the farm, he
determined to fit himself for the medical profession. Unable
to meet the expense of a collegiate course, which he much
desired, he attended Alstead Academy a few terms, teaching
district schools in the winter to obtain the necessary" funds.
He then entered Dartmouth Medical College where he gradu-
ated with more than average honor, August 21,1824. Prof.
R. D. Mu^sey, one of his instructors, secured him the offer of
an excellent position with flattering recommendations. But

not having the funds to purchase the Medical Library that he
needed for the phice, he felt obliged to decline tlie favorable
opportunity. He began the practice of his profession in
Richmond, where he became acquainted with the family of
Josiah Rawson, Esq., whose eldest daughter he married.
Removing from Richmond, he settled at Proctorsville, Vt.
At the urgent desire of his parents he returned to Gilsum in
February, 1830, where he engaged in the practice of his
profession for thirty-six years. In February, 1866, he
removed, with all his family, to Stockbridge, Madison County,
N. Y., where he died at the age of 70 years.
''He had a mind of more th.an common activity and his
life was spent in study. In his chosen profession he deservedly
occupied a high position for his scientific attainments, but this
did not engross his entire attention. Fie had a taste for
literary labors and wrote with beauty and force. He wrote
many articles for tlie press, thereby weiiduig a much greater
influence in political and temperence reforms of tl.e day than
was generally known at home. He was one of the leaders in
the Washingtonian temperance movement in this vicinity,
and frequently lectured with good success in this cause. In
lyceums and debating focieties he was one of the most
active and useful members, both with tongue and pen.
Historical matters connected with the town especially
interested him. (Appendix, G. Hist, of Gilsum.) He was
interested in education, using his influence in behalf of the
improvement and enlargement of school privileges for the
young. He served the town as Superintendmg School Com-
mittee five years. He was one of the founders and most
efficient supporters of the Universalist Library. He was
always an able and conscientious advocate of equal rights to
all of whatever color- or creed. He was of the firm belief
that it is the prerogative of the Eternal alone to judge man's
motives and spiritual conduct and that one man was better
than anoth.er, only in so far as he behaved better.
"He inlicritod from his father one of the best farms in
Gilsum and few professional men take as deep interest in

agriculture as he did, or practice fanning with better success.
He was chosen to represent the town in the Constitutional
Convention of 1850. lie served the district as State Senator
in 1855 and 185G and was Justice of the Peace for many
years. Pleasant in his intercour.se, genial in his manners, he
left many warm friends to mourri his death." He was a very
large, powerful UiUn, stan<ling over six feet in height and his
usual weight being over 250 pounds, at one time he weighed
over 300 pounds. It is recorded that at one time seventeen
Hammonds of Gilsum averaged over 200 pounds, he being
the heaviest and John Hammond, who weighed 175 pounds,
being the lightest.
Diansa Rawson, his wife, was a descendent of some of
the oldest and best puritan and pilgrim families of New
England. Her father, .Josiah Ilawsou, was a lineal descend-
ant of Edward Rawson, Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, uuiler Goveraur Endicott. Edward Rawson,
son of Edward and Margaret (Wilson) Rawson, of London,
England, came to America in 1630 and settled at Isewbury,
Mass. His mother, Margaret Wilson, was a sister of Rev.
John Wilson, the first minister of Boston. He n:iarried
Rachel Perue, daughter of Thomas Perne, of Newbury, Mass.
He was one of the most influential men in the early history
of the colony and was so bitter in his persecution of the
Quakei-s that Whittier has immortalized his fame in his
"Cassandra Southwick." The softening influence of time and
the broadening and liberalizing of the mind under the
benign rule of liberty and equality work wonders and a few
generations hiter one of his descendants was united in
marriage with a lineal descendant of one of the victims of
his persecution and the family of the tyranical })uritan and
the non-resistmg Quaker live in peace and harmony.
His son, William- Rawson, born May 21, 1G51, married
Anna Glover, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Smith)
Glover, of Dorchester, Mass. Mary Smith, wife of Nathaniel
Glover, was the daughter of Quartennaster John Smitli, of

South wick and she and her children were persecuted with the

to have undergone persecution so far as the records show and
he may not have been a Quaker at that time. Their son,
Caleb* Buffum, married Hannah Pope, daughter of Joseph
Pope, who came to America with Robert Burlum. They had

I Otis G. Hammond was a farmer. He built his house iu
Hammond Hollow, Gilsum, N, H., in 1829. The following
extract from Hayward's "Hist, of Gilsum," p. 209, gives a fair
account of his life :
I " He was a successful school teacher for many years, and served as
I Sui:>erintending School Committee. He was one of the nrst to join the
Washingtonian movement and was an earnest worker in the cause, being
quite successful as a temperance lecturer in this and neighboring towns. He
served the town a.« moderator and selectman and was commissioned justice
of the peace."
The following beautiful tribute to his memory was written
by his brother, Dr. George W. Hammond :
Brother, thou' rt sleeping in thy grave !
The world to thee is hushed !
iWe struggle^! hard thy life to save.
But all our hopes were crushed ;
Death seized thee in the noon of life,
j The brittle thread did sever ;
' The anguish of that fearful strife ;
I shall forget it never.
Brother, most we miss thee here,
j In this thy natal place ;
[ Here, where thy presence used to cheer
; We miss thy cheerful face ;
The temperance band we used to meet,
\Vill miss tliee too forever,
No more thy presence will they greet.
They will forget thee never.
! - Brother, father sleeps by thee,
* His sufferings too are o'er.
From which he longed to be set free,
j And now he Is no more,
j I, only, of the three remain,
i My cares are more than ever.
1 I'll strive lliese duties to sT;stain,
\ And sliall forget thee never.
Brother, all thf?sfe dear loved ones
For whom you a.«keii my care.
Thy loving wife and darling sons,
Do my protection «hare !
Thy dying wishes to fulfill,
Has Ix.'en my true endeavor,
I'll strive to keep them from all ill,
Aiid .sluil] forget thee never.

He was the author and compiler of a small Hammond
Genealogy of the Swanzey branch of the family, published in
1890, and also of a "Genealogy of the Richardson Family,"
which he published a few years later. He was also one of
the most active citizens in collecting the material for the
"History of Swanzey,'"' by Col. Benjamin Read, and was one
of the publication committee. To him is due the credit for a
large part of the genealogical work on the volume.
He was one of nature's noble men, a true gentleman, far
above the sordid level of humanity, both intellectually and
morally.
The following editorial from the N. H. Sentinel, (Keene,
N. H.) of Sept. 18, 1891, gives a very fair sketch of his life:
DEATH OF JOSEPH HAMMOND.
J(jse])h Hammond, one of Swanzey's oh.le.^t and best known citizens,
and one of the oldef^t pen?oni= in Cheshire county, died at his home in West
Swanzey, AVednesday night, at the age of 92 veal's and 5 months. He had
been in very good health until about a week or ten days before, when he
was taken ill with dysentery and other complications which proved fatal,
owing probably to his advanced years. Only two or three weeks ago Mr.
Hammond was in Keene one day and missed the train for West Swanzey.
He then walked liome, a distance of about six; miles.
Mr. Hammond was a descendant of Nathaniel Hammond, ^vho came
from Watertown, Mass., to Swanzey in 1740. Nathaniel was quite conspicu-
ous in the public life of the town, erecting the first house there and being one
of its earliest settlers. He had two sons, .Tr)sc[>h and Benjamin. The
decea«ied wa« one of Joseph's nine children, there being four sons and t?ve
daughters. He v.as born April 5, LSOO. and after attending the common
schools and Chesterfield Academv he taught school in Swanzev and else-

where for twenty terms. As a young man he was unusually vigorous and
muscular, and it is narrated that at Hinsdale Ferry, in 1832, he lifted a box
of steel weighing 722 pounds in the presence of several men. His principal
business after he finished teaching was that of a lumber measurer and dealer
and general surveyor. The latter work he kept up until very recently. ^
AVithin a few years he sold his compass, that he had made in Keene in 1850,
to a citizen of this town, and afterwards obtaine.l the loan of it. saying he

to retain the comj)ass thereafter.

man three years and had been town clerk, treasurer, superintending school
committee, representative in 1850 and 51, postmaster under Lincoln and a
justice of the peace since 1843. He \Aa« clerk of the Baptist church thirty-
eight years ami trea.<=urer of the DnVilin Baptist association titteen years. He
was in the grocery business from 1S50 to 1863, and was at one time a member
of the firm of Xims, Gates & Hammond, of Keene.
Mr. Hammond's first wife was Lutheria S. Kngers, by whom he had
two daughters, Sophia J. and Maria E. She died April 24, 1860. His
second wife was Ardelia C. Randall, who died Feb. 11, 1884. His third wife
was ?darion E. Farmer, who survives him. together with his daughters,
Mrs. Martin :Nra.^on, of West Swanzey, (Sophia J.) and 3Irs. Eugene ^1.

The funeral was held at the Baptist church Friday afternoon. The
services were conducted by Rev. Thoma.s Cain, of Windsor, Yt.. a former
pastor, assisted bv Rev. Robert Bennett, pastor of the local church. The
singing was by a male quartette and the interment was in the old cemetery.

becoming a member of the Baptist church.

of George and Betsey (Stam ) Sneli, of Stockbridge, X. Y. Her
grandfather, Joseph P. Snell, removed from the town of Man-
heim, Herkimer County, X. Y., to Stockbridge, about 1822;
a lineal descendant of Johan Jost Snell, who came from Ger-
many to America in 1710. Three of Mr.-. Hammond's great
grandfothers were in the battle of Ori.>^kany in the Ilevolu-
tionary war. Of these Peter Snell, the fatlier of Josepii P.
Snell, was wounded in battle. John Frederick Snell, the
father of Mary P^lizabeth Snell, the wife of Joseph P. Snell,
was killed, and George Stam escaped uninjured. All of these
with many oth'ers of their kinsnaen were in Capt. Jacob
Klock's Co. under CJeneral Herkimer.
George Haunnond finished his education at Mt. Cesar
Seminary in Swanzey, X. II. He took an active {.>art with his
father in the early temperance movements of tins locality and
was during his whole life a total abstainer from all intoxicants
and tobacco. He wrote hugely for the agricultural press and
was for many years a valued correspondent of tl^e "Cultivator
and Country Gentlenuin" and also of the "Mirror and
Farmer." He also wrote much on temperance subjects, but
never took an active part in politics, although he was a life-
long Republican. He held the ofiice of justice of the peace
in his native town for about ten years and held some minor
offices in the town where he lived the hist years of his
life, but they were always unsought as he declined to attend
party caucuses or to take any active part in partisan politics.
He was very reserved in his intercourse with others and
always preferred to write rather than talk. He was a great
reader upon all subjects of interest and was a great thinker.
He Vv^as never a church member but held advanced opinions
on mptters of religion. On account of his excellent education
and fine penmanship he was frequently calleti upoii to write
WATKRTOWX, MASS. 329
the wills and other legiil pa[>ers of his neighbors and to make
out tax lists, etc., in tht- locality. He was much interested in
agricultural pursuits and in breeding tine blooded sh.cep, cattle
and horses during his entire life but suffered the loss of the
most of his property during the financial panic of l;s7.'i
to 1879. His wife, Almina Snell was <[uite well educated and
a very intelligent woman. ''I'he following o!)ituary notice from
the "Oneida Union" of August 3, 1892, shows something of
the esteem in which she was held by her neigh.bors:
"3Ir?. Almina S. IlainnKHK!, wife of (ie<)r'_'(> Ilaimnoiici, oi Storkliridw,
died at her hrtiie <iti TLuixiay las^t. She had .-^uflfievl from I'tincer nearly
three years when it was removed about a year a<jro, Init her blof>d had
become so poif^ined by it that the wound never entirely healed and gradually
un<lermined her liealth until death released her from her sufferings. Mrs.
Hammond was the dau-jrhter of (Teorce and Betsey Snell and wa? born in
Stockbridge Aug. ;^"t, 1S:1H. In ISoT she married and remove<l to her hus-

with .ill and with the consciousness of a life well si)ent. Her end wa.s as
peaceful and trau'iuil as sle-ep. The interment was at Stockbridge cemetery."

year and a half and then vv-ent to Keene, where he si[)ent i

expert bookkeeper on private accounts. On account of i)Oor >

breaking out of the war, being employed as a salesman by '
John P. Johnson, a prominent dealer in dry goods. The
President's call for three months' men aroused his patriotic
spirit and he enlisted under th;;t call but was not mustered. i
A short time afterward he received from Col. Cross the

Tlic oth New Ilanip.'iljire was the li^^htiiig regiment of
all the feileral foreos, as is pi-oved by ollicial fiiiurcs. It bears
the proLKl record of having lost more men killed and mortally
wounded in action than any other regiment in the Union
armies, heavy artillery excepted. Twenty-three engagements
it passed through and the losses in action were 282, of whom
18 were officers, and 176 died from disease and other causes
than wounds, making a total loss of 458 officers and men.
William F. Fox, in his book "Regimental Losses in the Civil
War," says:
•' The one resinieiit in all the Union arniio!- which snstiiined the great-
est ln?s in battle durine the An\erieau Civil War was the Fifth New Hamp-
shire Infantry. [Thi?: staten:ent does not include heavy artillery.] * * *
It served in the tir«t division, second corps. This division uas connnanded
successfully by (ienerals Kichardson. Hancock, Caldwell. Barlow and .Miles,
and any reginjent that followed the fortunes of these men wa« sure to tind
plenty of blood V '.vork ci:t out rorit. Tiie L.^sf^s oi the Fifth Xew Hamp-
shire occurred entirely in asrpressive, hard, stand up fighting; none of it
happened in routes or through blunders. Its loss ineludes eighteen oflicers
killed, a nunilKT far in excess of the u.=ual j.rojwrtion and indicates that tlie
men were bravely led."'
Mr. Hammond's only brother, Albert 0. Hammond, was
also in the service in the latter part of the \var. and his
patriotism cost him his life. He enlisted in Company M.,
Second Massachusetts Cavalry, and was mustered in Jan. 4,
18G4, }x?ing a resident of Dedham, Mass. He was captured
and sent to Anderson ville prison, where lie was so reduced by
starvation tliat he died Sept. 12, 1864, shortly after being
transferred to Savannah.
After the expiration of his three years of service, Mr-
Hanniiond resided in. Fast Concord for a short time, and ni
1868 removed to Mancliestrr, where he successfully carried on
a small farm in the district known as Hallsville. His health
was so undermined by malaria and other affiictions incident
to army life in the south, that some such out-door life as this
was deemed necessary. He also improved this time in learn-
ing the cariHL-nter's trade. He returned to Concord in 1874,
and followed his nt'W occupation until di^^a.blcd by a fall from
:»2 WILTJAM ii.nnioxi)
tlie roof of a building, from the eHecls of wiiicli lu* never
fully recovered.
In 1877 be was a^'pointed deputy secretary of state and
continued in tbat olHce by successive re-appointment for ten
years. In June, 1887, he was elected librarian of the New
Hampshire Plistorical Society, and he served the society for
three years or until he was obliged by failing health to resign.
During this time he edited volume 9 of the collection of the
society. In 1881 he was appointed editor of state papers, and
during the remainder of his life he com. piled and edited
volumes 11 to 18 of the State Papers of New Hampshire, in-
cluding the Revolutionary rolls, wliich comprised volumes 14,
15, 16 and 17. He was deputy V. S. mar.-hal for taking the
census of 1870, member of the New Hampshire constitutional
convention of I87fi. commander of the E. E. Sturtcvant Post,
No. 2, G. A. P.. of Concord, secretary of the New Hampshire
college of electors in 1884, vice-president of the Manufacturers'
and Merchants' Insurance Co. He was a member of the New
Hampshire Historical Sot-iety, and the New England Historic
Genealogical Society, honorary member of the ]\Iaine Histori-
cal Society, and was elected a member of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science. Although not a
man of college education, he received the degree of xV. M. from
Dartmouth College in 1883. He was a Mason, a member of
Blazing Star lodge of Concord, and served as marshal of the
lodge for several years. During his army service he was
secretary of one of the " traveling" lodges then in existence in
the field.

starvation and the most inhuman treatment until Sept. 9,
18G4. when a mere skeleton, unable to stand, he was reruoved
to Savannah, Ga., and laid upon the ground where he
remained without food three days after his arrival. He died
Sept. 12, 1864, aged 27 years and 11 months, a victim of the
barbarism of slavery. "He gave his life that his country
